We can even make it look like the wiki one theme of course. Just thinking of the usefullness of it. http://blog.battlestarwiki.org/ — I have to think about this idea. Sounds good in theroy, but it takes away from people from trying the Mediawiki software. I would suggest just annocmenets. Otherwise it takes users away. Sorta like Official Annocments only type things. --Shane (T - C - E) 21:06, 12 September 2006 (CDT)
- That's the idea. The blog would be nothing more than a gateway to get into the wiki itself, as it were. Call it a migration path, if you will. -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate 23:00, 12 September 2006 (CDT)
- Sounds pretty cool idea. Would like to hear more about ideas for it though. --Mercifull (Talk/Contribs) 03:05, 15 September 2006 (CDT)

- I vastly prefer this over the idea of an official wiki forum. --Peter Farago 18:41, 25 September 2006 (CDT)
- I have a few questions. Blogs are generally designed for one or two users to enter--it's a journal. It also tends to express a specific voice and is topic-driven, not a chatting board. Aside from mop duty, admins haven't any bigger voice than other contributors. So, if an entry is placed, who places it, and why? How do we control who posts the topic? Are entries generally based on show events, internal wiki topics, or politics? Assuming there is a message response area, who moderates the messages, deleting those that are offtopic or inappropriate? There's a lot of work here, and we really need to define it beyond its good intentions. --Spencerian 08:20, 26 September 2006 (CDT)

- This has been my favorite proposal for "non-wiki-editing" user outreach to date. It looks to run the lowest risk of keeping "wiki-business" off of the wiki, while still providing people unfamiliar with the mediawiki interface a chance to provide visible feedback. --Steelviper 15:27, 25 September 2006 (CDT)
- Agreed. --FrankieG 15:57, 25 September 2006 (CDT)
