Hi there,

I've left a message on your WikiMac page; please let me know your feelings on the questions.

Hi, CocoaZen. Whish I had more time to care for Wikicites. MattisManzel 01:58, 15 Dez 2004 (PST)

I like Creatures too, and will probably recommend it for the featured wiki next week. I just thought WikiMac should go first. I really appreciate the help I've received from both you and User:DavidFeng as I've started using wikis! I've learned a lot from you and from examples in the WikiMac and Creatures --CocoaZen 20:05, 16 Feb 2005 (GMT)


 * Glad you like it! My personal feeling is that Creatures is more "complete" (due in part to its restricted scope), and therefore a better example for others wikis to follow in terms of building their community - especially in terms of attracting contributors, an area in which I think WikiMac has not been so successful. It'd also be nice to show the Creatures community that they have actually achieved something worthwhile - a lot of people (not me :-) are all "oh, the CC is dying, alack, alas . . .", and it's nice to have the occasional "first" to build up spirits.


 * I guess it depends on what the admins want. If they want to feature something that needs more users to reach its full potential, then they might well choose WikiMac (although I feel WikiMac's main audience will be from the outside via search engines and the like, not due to internal promotion). If they want to showcase a Wiki that has grown really quickly due to the contribution of many users, and which has (I think) reached a reasonably mature state in just 6 weeks, I think Creatures is a better bet. But then, I would think that. ;-)


 * Or they could decide to choose something completely different! *grin* We'll have to see how it goes . . . -- 21:58, 16 Feb 2005 (GMT)
