Hi Angelle,

I had a great time with my family, thank you 🙂 I hope your holiday was equally fun!

I'm sorry you felt excluded by the Community Connect post. That wasn't the intention of course. We wanted to talk about the event, without giving the impression that people could apply for a place (or even that they could just turn up!)

We hope that there will be future events with other people invited to participate, and have definitely tried to select a broad spectrum of attendees for this event. We want real and varied feedback and opinions, that's very important for the event and for the future of the site.

I can't speak to the future format of wikis, there are many directions they could go. My guess, and it's only a guess, is that they will have more elements that can be "slotted in". My own dream is for a infobox tool that allows users to create highly customized infoboxes without requiring any template or CSS knowledge.

But I don't expect new tools to restrict creativity, innovation, and the wiki way. In fact I believe innovation leads to innovation, and that the future is bright for wikis. After all, I've seen them come a looong way in the last 17 years (we couldn't even re-size images when I started on Wikipedia 😄).

And finally, I definitely agree that diversity and inclusivity are very important. Fandom should be a place that welcomes everyone, and accepts our differences.
