:I agree. I also feel that the template needs to be a semantic form, and not a wiki template. And it will be, soon. The Open Projects page is decent, and is a good repository until we move towards our actually-implemented-structure. Now that we have Semantic MediaWiki and Semantic forms installed on the wiki, it will be possible to structure an awful lot of the data that resides therein. If someone fills out the current template great, but I'm not going to make a push for anything until I finish building out the structures. [[User:Sethwoodworth|Seth]] 07:49, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Similarly the Projects/nnnnn namespace [1] seems to be used inconsistently and should probably get some wiki-love. It mostly holds little pages with SJ'sactivtiy-summary templates (by the way, that template is broken badly, as I menitoned to SJ some time ago) User_talk:Sj#Activity-summary_template_gone_wonky and it seems to often be confused with the Activities/nnnnn namespace. In addition, some folks interpretate it as the place to start main-space type pages dedicated to their projects, which often leaves them hidden in the weeds. e.g. Projects/Wikislice. It's tricky to move these when the projects are active, like wikislice and it is tricky to get people to use the namespace as intended when there is no guidance provided on the "preferred usage".
