Hi all, I've started a new wiki called Offwiki: http://offwiki.org. Our community discusses potential changes to Wikipedia and its Wikimedia sister projects that aren't easily discussed in forums like this mailing list. We also try new ideas that we hope will be adopted on-wiki- both social and technical in nature.
Welcome back!
I enjoyed the utensil analogy on the main page. It's very cute. :-)
--- Spoon: If Offwiki were common cutlery, it would be a spoon. It's not a knife, because we don't make our points here by hurting Wikipedia or other Wikipedia-related sites. And it's not a fork, because we're here to build a better encyclopedia by making Wikipedia itself better. ---
I also applaud the effort in setting up your own MediaWiki installation. MediaWiki is a neat platform; it can be a bit brutish at times, but it has a lot of nice features, including a decent support structure and a vibrant development community behind it.
