General discussion about the wiki

I want to start a discussion about the wiki, but I can't find an appropriate place for such a discussion. I figure it must be a Talk page on the wiki somewhere, but I can't figure out the best wiki page to have the discussion on...

What are 50DISK50, 3DOM50, and 1IP1DOM50?
They're Dreamhost coupons!

I would say what wiki "talk" page you start the discussion on would depend upon what it is you want to discuss. wink

Or, "Off Topic" in this forum is probably as good as any, though I agree that the Wiki is best discussed "on the wiki".

Yeah, the problem is that it's a general discussion about all the wiki topics.

Anyway, I'll start it here, but we can move the discussion to an appropriate Talk page if we can find an appropriate one.

The best place to discuss this sort of thing is the DreamHost Wiki Village Pump, although this forum is a good place to "recruit" wiki editors.

There is already a small group of regular wiki contributors trying to improve the organizational structure and administrative sections. For example, I have been concentrating my efforts on keeping the number of "wanted" pages (red links) down and creating/enforcing wiki policies and guidelines. I've also been (slowly) working my way through the old DreamHost Knowledgebase (KB) and trying to better integrate it with the wiki system.

Are we supposed to talk at the pump page or the discussion page of the talk page?

Normal convention is to talk on the Pump page itself, but it doesn't really matter. You can even create sub pages to the Pump for specific topics if you like. For example, http://wiki.dreamhost.com/DreamHost:Village_pump/subpage
