Let me ask you this. How many people read your blog, how many read this forum. Would it not be better, if you want people to come to the MediaWiki install to post a link right here Rather than make them go to your blog just to find out where it is. It seems rather tortuous.

Will, I'm reminded why I don't get into forum discussions with you - you don't read information that's provided. In the name of brevity here ("Never invite Tony to give a one minute speech !") I had taken my forum posting and moved it out to my blog. In that blog I have a link to the wiki prototype. With apologies, I didn't post the link here as I thought. But if you had visited the blog which I created specifically to respond to your points, you would have found the MediaWiki prototype replacement for PickWiki. removethisNebula-RnD.com/blog/tech/mv/2011/11/mvcollaboration.htm l > But beating on the same drum, does github have email > subscription notifications of pages you are watching > (but to which you have not contributed) ?

Response 1, I refer again to: http://ilikestuffblog.com/2011/07/14/github-notifications-suck/ Response 2, see comment in my last note: Nothing is perfect. Join millions of people who deal with that concept every day. Response 3: (again) you can get notifications by other means. > I disagree that people will not use a wiki to contribute code > changes. Disagree, but here's the change log showing activity over the last year: http://www.pickwiki.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?RecentChanges Last month you yourself added a link to a page that doesn't exist. (Thank you for that valuable resource.) Recent notes from people here, and the log, confirm that almost no one ever contributes updates to existing code at PickWiki. There are notes on the wiki about how to use the site, and people eager and easily available to help. The site is just not used for collaboration though it's available for anyone who wants it. No, it's not great, but Ian didn't originally intend it to be a collaboration site when he created it ... it just became a defacto repository. If we get significant demand for improving the resource for real collaboration, a few of us here will be eager to do it.
