[MAK] - '''ENOUGH TROLLING'''.  This is not productive, and the signal to noise ratio is zero.  Look, it's very simple: stop pooing all over the wiki, list alleged issues and options, and put it to a vote. For comments see other revisions.

   1. Could the [Ask, and it shall be given.] organization stand some improvement?  (Yes - [MAK], [A/AK], [GPS], [SS], [RS], [MC], [RA] ...) / (No - ...)
   1. Is what's currently being done the right approach?  (Yes - ...) / (No - [MAK], [CMcC], [A/AK], [GPS], [SS], [RS], [MC], [RA] Great approach per se but not in harmony with the rest of the wiki, ...)
   1. Should changes be made willy-nilly on the live wiki until a reasonable consensus on the approach is reached? (Yes -- [RA] This is called trial and error; a tentative approach submitted to the Community for approval, ...) (No - [MAK], [CMcC], [A/AK], [GPS], [SS], [RS], [MC], ...) / 
   1. Should we keep the current format of '''one problem per page''' even for the answered questions and not put many questions on the same page? (Yes - [RA], ...) / (No - [MAK], ...) 
   1. Should experimentation and "proof of concept" work be done on a separate throwaway wiki?  (Yes - [MAK], [CMcC], [A/AK], [GPS], [SS], [MC], [RA], ...) / (No - ...)
   1. Should links provided by Wikit (to edit, recent changes, etc.) be put in the editable portion of pages?  (Yes - [RA], ...) / (No - [MAK], [CMcC], [A/AK], [SS], [MC], ...)
   1. Should Wikit provide duplicate links at the top of the page for some of these things that are provided at the bottom of the page? (Yes - [RA], ...) / (No - [CMcC], [SS], [RS], [MC], ...) / (Yes-optional - [A/AK], [MAK])
   1. Should the person actually answering a question be responsible for determing the appropriate place for it?  (Yes - [MAK], [CMcC], [A/AK], [SS], [RS], [MC], [RA] / (No - ...)
   1. Should Wikit support subpages, automatically-generated heirarchical indexes, etc. like other wikis?  (Yes - [RA] ...) / (No - [MC] ...) / (Yes-optional - [CMcC], [A/AK], [SS], [MAK],  ...)
   1. In lieu of such support, should they be manually implemented in the editable portion of pages?  (Yes - [RA], ...) / (No - [MAK], [CMcC], [A/AK], [SS], [MC] ...)
   1. Should the Wiki be used like a message board? (Yes - ...) / (No - [MAK], [CMcC], [A/AK], [SS], [RS], [MC], [RA], ...)
   1. Should the Wiki software have a feature to add commentary to a page (separate from the page contents, but tacked onto the end when viewed, like you see in the [php] online manual, etc.)?  (Yes - [MAK], [CMcC], [A/AK], [SS], [RS], [RA] ...) / (No - ...)
   1. Should Wikit allow you to preview a page before committing changes? (Yes - [MAK], [A/AK], [SS], [MC], ...) / (No - [CMcC], [RA] ...)
   1. Should the Wiki have a companion message board, or is news://comp.lang.tcl enough? (Yes - ...) / (No/comp.lang.tcl - [MAK], ...)
   1. Should answered questions coming from Ask and '''it''' shall be given bear a different title than pages on the wiki? Like for example a prefix such as "Q&A" or "Answered Questions on ..." as Peter Newman has done in his system? (Yes - ...) / (No - [RA], ...) 
   1. Should we keep the current categorization system: a category name at the bottom of the page and the reverse search executed when we click on the title of a page? [Yes - [Robert Abitbol], ...) / (No - ...)

   1. Anything else?

-----
[GPS]: A message board might be useful as a companion to the Tcl'ers Wiki and the Tcl'ers Chat.  The *golden nuggets* of information could be preserved on the wiki, in a hopefully easier format to navigate.  Tracking many conversations is just too painful without a more structured display.  As an alternative we could have a standard response of "use news://comp.lang.tcl instead," and pull in the good posts from there (as CL and others already do).

[RA] I agree,. This is an excellent idea.  

----
[RS] The recent rush in low-info page creation disappointed me. We had a tradition for years that, for instance, people having a question about [grid] just put it at bottom of that page, and some or more helpful souls answered it right there. Seems better to me than adding a hierarchy of not-always-obvious concepts on top of precise questions.

----
[LES]: I don't understand the [[comments]] question. The absolute majority of wikit's pages are but a long series of comments. Does this proposal mean comments on the comments??! Or a "read-only" section segregated from an editable section?!! Or what? (Yes - [MAK])

[RA] See http:usemod.org. It has a similar feature.

One should not rush to solutions before understanding the problem

[RA] Indeed! And one should not find solutions before finding problems! :-)
