Hi,
I've been thinking about this wiki, and what new ideas might help it.
One thing that keeps bringing me back to this thought, is that I keep seeing awesome LEGO creations on the various blogs I read. I know the Facebook page used to show some of these, but I thought I might start adding stuff about them here in my blog space :)
I'm also wondering how we can use the Wikia Video Library to bring in more useful videos. There is a lot of LEGO related stuff there, and it's all licensed to Wikia, so there is no chance of copyright issues :) Do you see anything there that might be good to add here? It could be as part of an article, or as part of a blog, or...
I'd also like to try a couple of other things here. One is "top ten lists", a fun way to highlight articles and other content. We could try a "Top 10 of the Week" feature for a while. I'll try and create one later this week, and see what you think.
I also wanted to ask about polls. Are they something you use on other wikis? Would you use them here? We could turn them on and see how much they are used, what do you think?
One last suggestion, is that we turn on Message Wall. The biggest benefit is how much easier it is to communicate with them. With less contributors right now, it would be good to encourage as much conversation as possible. The notification system is great - it notifies you for each conversation you are involved in, rather than each edit on your talk page. And that means you don't miss it if someone replies on their talk page instead of yours (so conversations can stay together, without you missing replies)
So let me know what you think!
