Couple of things I like about it (and why I think it's going to be successful): * It's really simple to use and very intuitive * It has a model of trust which seems really nice[*] * It is very clean in its presentation and simple to read for anyone new to Squeak [*] If the trust model works out I could imagine that we use authorizations derived from the site - e.g., something like "for the front page you have to be certified journeyman or higher". Doing this would (I think) almost immediately block any of the abuse we see on the Swiki today. TFNR has (in my understanding) very different goals. The site can be used to discuss some of these but other than this I don't see any overlap whatsoever. Do you? Not sure I understand this. Personally, I think the site _is_ an enhancement of the existing processes. Cheers, - Andreas
