	Curious as to what you still want to do to this page as far as cleanup. [[User:JubalHarshaw\|JubalHarshaw]] 10:18, 10 April 2007 (CDT)		Curious as to what you still want to do to this page as far as cleanup. [[User:JubalHarshaw\|JubalHarshaw]] 10:18, 10 April 2007 (CDT)
	:Putting on my mind-reading cap, I think part of the problem with this page is that it's pretty out of the way. Either we should increase the visibility of the article (more prominent links, etc) or delete it. I like the idea of the "interactivity". While some of that is covered by the blog, this would be a good place to try to match the "questioners" with the "answerers". --[[User:Steelviper\|Steelviper]] 10:24, 10 April 2007 (CDT)		:Putting on my mind-reading cap, I think part of the problem with this page is that it's pretty out of the way.

			That makes sense, but that's really not an issue of "cleanup" with this page. The page is clean; the question is, as you say, whether or not to keep it, and if we keep it, how to make it more visible. I for one would like to {{keep}}; I too like the interactivity and it could serve a useful purpose if more prominent. [[User:JubalHarshaw\|JubalHarshaw]] 10:31, 10 April 2007 (CDT)
