discurse on tychoish wiki
I like the changes. I'm glad to see that you are leading the way in the great wiki revival of the next decade. In my opinion, we need more curated, interlinked content on the web (wikis) and less ephemeral, serially published content (blogs).

Thanks!
Here's hoping it's a revival, but I won't count it as such for a while. The two things thing that I need sort out, (and you might be of help on some of these points:
I need to do something to try and automatically template these discourse pages. I'm most interested in figuring out a way to get good page titles added. Goal: make pages look awesome without anyone having to do work, particularly not new commenters.
Some sort of convention for threading, and conversational back and forth. I'm doing the horizontal rule thing, (and this wiki is all markdown, so that's good and easy at least.) I think the block quote thing is a bit annoying, but maybe has merit in terms of visual clarity and threading. But to be honest this is very much at the bottom of the list. I'm worried about saying "you should do xyz, when you comment," and having that discourage commenting rather than encourange
Some sort of notify system? Or way to efficiently track comments? I think I'll just send you a link to pages out of band, but something here, even if it's just a "recent discurse" page might be nice.
Cheers!
