Yeah I think we need to stop having a wiki as the front page, but that
doesn't mean kill the wiki or stop adding content to the wiki at all.
sounds good to me :)
We'll discuss this later anyway - there are several options but lets
forget about the long distance future this for the moment.

I agree, though I wonder if there's anyway though we can reenforce these
are people's points of view..... for instance - I think discussion is
great but I don't know it would sound to anyone wanting to get involved...?
I think there should be a very low barrier to getting involved with DFEY
and once people are involved, they can learn why perhaps they should be
doing some thing differently.. (in a friendly, fun environment).
The only "essay" with regards to DFEY that i know of is what i wrote
here:
http://www.blog.tdobson.net/node/249I thought, considering how opinionated and personal to me it was, it
wasnt really suitable for the wiki (I don't want to put it on the wiki
and protect it because that seems egotistical and wrong).
I don't know what the answers to these problems are but hopefully some
other people have opinions.. :)
Also, what *is* the wiki's content licence? ;) We need to sort this out
sooner rather than later. :)

I am stupidly busy at the moment. When I *start* my exams, my workload
will decrease a bit haha. :)
