Although I could not prevent you, I would find it
personally abhorrent
if you people wasted money hiring some marketing company to "give the
wiki a facelift". If you got money to blow, go feed children in third
world countries. I think the wiki is pretty enough as it is.
Not to mention that a
project such as this attracts many talented
people, many who are willing to offer their talents to the site. It
seems silly to me that you'd pay different people with the same talents
(but no experience with the site) to decide on what looks best, when the
entire community is willing to do it for us. No one was hired to write
php_wiki, and Alex756 has offered pro bono legal advice to the site.
Let's keep the site community run, and use any money we have on
necessities.
As for a mascot, I think we should pick one of those
tripped out
deep-sea fish cuz, like them, we are bringing light to dark places.
Any specific fish? A photo, maybe?
