Revision as of 00:33, 10 August 2005

Scope

What is the scope of this project? do you intend only to cover the scriptures, or is it open to examination of church history as well? I'd love to see a wiki that included, say, articles on each modern day Prophet and Apostle, commentary on news items, such as what is going on with that Southerton dude, and other things.

Would the creators of this Wiki support additions like that, or send interested users to a different Wiki?

Hi 65.216.70.186,
This site is for commentary and discussion of the scriptures. I don't see the focus of this site being broadened.
At one point in time User:Mark started a wiki devoted to LDS doctrine. I don't think it is active at this time. I am not aware of any other wiki's devoted to lds topics but who knows what is out there now or what might be started soon. There are a bunch of blogs devoted to the topics you mention. Some links to these are listed on Site:LDS blogs.
PS If you feel comfortable doing it, I would suggest logging in to post comments in the future. Having a login name makes it easier to have a discussion. I can think of several reasons off-hand for logging in 1) it is not as easy to remember ip addresses as it is names 2) it is nicer saying "Hi Sue" then it is "Hi 65.216.70.86" 3) for some people there ip address keeps switching making it hard to figure out who is who 4) some people don't like having their ip address posted publicly, logging in prevents this (an ip address gives the actual internet address of your computer at the time of posting) 5) logging in allows you to personalize your experience at Feast upon the Word a bit 6) it allows other people to send you a private message (to your e-mail) without revealing your e-mail address to them 7) there's got to be some more reasons but none occur to me right now.
