Where do I list my new page?
I've made this page:
It isn't a group and doesn't need a group to form around it, and it isn't an essay either. It's just part of the wiki - an article, which I'll improve from time to time and I hope other transients will too. Does this wiki have a section for normal wiki pages :-) ? Ciaran 20:23, 9 June 2012 (EDT)
- And this page:
- Should I make a box on the Main Page for these pages?
- Maybe the wiki needs a sitemap? The structure of this wiki seems to be missing something. It doesn't have the organic growth model, or the interconnectedness of other wikis. Is it possible that an over emphasis on Groups is harming the structure? Maybe a mixed Groups+normal_pages model would be better? Ciaran 17:26, 26 August 2012 (EDT)
- And this:

Pages I made - happy home sought
I've still no idea where to link to these pages:
- Good and bad licence changes
- When is digital inclusion good?
- Governments developing free software

- Programming in Scheme
- Programming in c
- When should firmware be free
