I agree. If you remember, isn't it good idea to rename wikipedia software *or* set up a independent wiki for it?
Rename - ... But please, no endless name debate on
wikitech. This is
exactly what meta is for.
I will post a question to meta-wikipedia. Or how about the main wikipedia maining list? I would like to conduct discussion in the place other than meta-wikipedia (Yeah, consider this is my preference)
One advantage of the Wikipedia name is that it might make
people more
willing to participate. "Oh, the Wikipedia wiki? Sure, I'd
love to help
with that." But I don't know how strong that argument is.
I'm not opposed
to a name change.
Is there any objection to rename the wikipedia software so far?
Independent wiki - I don't really see the point. Meta
works, we just need
to define it properly (for the record, I absolutely
encourage you to clean
it up, and I don't think it should be used for personal
essays, sorry,
Anthere).
I don't think either we need an independt wiki as long as meta is dedicated to its meta purpose.
I will post a proposal to the main wikipedia regarding this.
If you can't convince people to clean up Meta, ask me for
help ;-)
Haha.
What are OpenFacts?
Wikipedia-like wiki specifically for open source
documentation
maintenance. Will probably be officially launched next
week. There will
also be Wikipedia-based wikis for two other projects I'm
working on.
Cool!
