Ideas

• Create something like a TrustedUsersGroup on Wiki so that it is possible for trusted community members to modify restricted articles (like the FrontPage). At the moment only the members of the DevelopersGroup can do so.

This section is dedicated to those tasks, which no longer fit as elegant one-liners in the to do section.

Banners

It might be a good idea to put big banners on the top of pages in CategoryStale and CategoryHistorical. This would be a clear message to a user that the presented information is probably out-of-date.

Currently, we tend to add a page to CategoryStale and then put something like this on the top:

• This page is out of date (last substantial edit 2010-10-03 23:04:51 by CharlieRoot).

New categories

We could make a much better use of wiki Categories as a classification tool. Here are the current active ones.

New wiki

What if we moved to a completely different wiki implementation?
