An idea that's been floating around some of the longtime participants for a while. Perhaps it's time. What's the best way to go about this without losing what's valuable here? (Dramatization at BigWikiFireOfDoubleOught) PleaseDontDeleteWiki ---- 0 Make www.c2.com/cgi/wiki read-only.

Use cookies to enforce that. 0 When someone editing a page on the new wiki references a WikiName that's only present on the old, give them the option of importing the old page on the condition that they will immediately ReFactor it. 0 (Optional) add WikiPortal capabilities to the new wiki. 0 (Optional) let the old wiki stay open for participants who won't agree to the new charter. 0 Wait a year (say) and then DeleteWiki. -- PeterMerel ----- ''RussianRoulette UserStory anyone?''
