OTOH, the currenty wikipages are not really suited to
discussions at all -
I'd rather not have someone edit my "posts" - whether it be for fixing
the speling or whatever.
When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail - but I think
a new disccusion support would be very good to have, even if it is a lot
of work. The longer the old sytle pages are the only possibility, hte
longer we will get more and more of them. :)
I don't know about that, I often get into discussions where we
alternate between wikimode and thread mode. I think the fear of
editing comments comes from a lack of trust in the system and the
other editors. Often in a discussion I'll post a list or a fragment
of text, and multiple people with work on it. I don't see what the
harm is in leaving the possibility of editing other peoples words, if
someone does it in an objectionable way they will be caught and hung
like the evil creatures they are. ;)
Really, the only two problems I've had is tracking changes across
multiple parts of a page, but viewing diffs from my last edit fixes
that, and getting notified which watchlists mostly fix.
Too bad there isn't a way to watchlist sections. :)
