+1 for a single wiki with differentiated namespaces for all of these topics :) I think it would do us a lot of good to be able to recombine all of these topics so when we are looking for a calendar or a presentation bank or a list of media or whatever there is ONE place to go, not five. Such a solution would make it easier to fold separate wikis (such as a conference wiki) back into Meta when we were done with them, too. My solution to the challenge of combining everything would be to have a global edit sprint -- "meta-cleanup-and-merge editing party weekend!" -- phoebe _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
