Hi there!

Totally underdstand where you are coming from. I am a jump in feet first kinda gal, but I know it's tough when 5 people are all over the place to connect here at times.

I was going to wait till everyone was "settled" before posting anything to admin/community, I think the comments on the "spring" update prompted my interjection and Bugs said to post there. I have no problem with admin making changes without commjunity input per se', I think certain things admin know better then everyone else (that's just me) but I am sure you want community input over all. One of the forum options is the Tardis and without TT due to the G5 merge, maybe that would be better blended elsewhere (??), you would know better than I.

I had an idea for some time about a "mock" editing page. A page that everyone could go to and edit (correctly and incorrectly so members could figure out how to find mistakes and correct them - editing for dummies if you will, lol) ... I know many wiki friends I have spoke too said they wish they could have an option that wasn't formal pages to start with and I it might encourage others who are "afraid" of editing to dip their toes into the editing waters.

I also liked the idea of an "ask the admin" page, where anyone could post there and any admin could reply. It would save from those who are nervous to post to admin walls and/or openly on the forums. I also think it would allow admin to be more "member-ish" and not so distant, not that any previous admin wasn't available, but it would just centralize the admin connection here.

These are just a few suggestions, I am still dealing with sick family members (and a teenagerwho cannot swallow right now - not fun) so I'll let the above options as something to ponder for the moment. And btw, no idea or suggetsion I have is taken personal if you (or the communtiy) don't decide on it. I have made notes over the last 6 or so months and anything that helps make this community better, easier, helpful (etc) is what it's about. I have no personal attachment to ideas being accepted or denied. =)

Thanks for reaching out. I am checking in here on and off, hoping the nice weather improves everyone's health in my home. =)
