Thank you, you did a tremendous job gathering all the email
discussions
there.

ganization#Main_Page

comment)


That seems to be a pretty good set of top-level links, as
I've noted before.
Having a "Getting Started" section there would
also be a good idea, it could
link to a new "landing" page with links to basic
installation and
administration tasks.

We should have a meeting. The normal meeting time on
thursdays is not good
for me, if we could do it a few hours later than that i'd be
all set.

My biggest "concern" right now is my own lack of
understanding how Mediawiki
categories/namespaces work. I can't seem to get a proper
grasp on how that
is supposed to work and subsequently don't really understand
how we should
organize the content after a category/namespace domain has
been settled. If
someone on the list has some pointers/input on how Mediawiki
works in that
regard, please speak up.
