I agree with the evolution of the threads.  And throughout this evolution
lots of concrete information (websites, articles, reference material, etc.)
is included.  What I see is this concrete information picked from the
threads and included in the wiki.

The thread does not get moved.  The threads and the wiki run concurrently,
but independently.

And no, no blog.  No.  Nada.  Please, no blog.

The problem is, rarely does anyone start a thread on the list knowing
it will be "expansive."...it just evolves into it, just like an
author doesn't sit looking at the first blank page knowing it will be
a best seller..it happens as it develops.

Does that mean that the start of the thread is in one place and it
then gets dropped from the list and moved to the wiki (or is it
blog)?
