[Gardeners] ALU Wiki and the "discuss this page" option.

[Peter Seibel]

The ALU Wiki has a feature whereby every page has a cousin page to be  
used for discussing the first page. (Well, not every page--the page  
discussion pages can not be discussed.)

I suggest that we *not* use that feature for project discussion--i.e.  
if you're talking about stuff a project should or should not do or  
adding information that would be useful to folks working on the  
project, do that on the project page proper.

The use, if any, as I see it, for the page discussion pages is  
literally for discussing the page--meta commentary such as, "This  
page is getting too long, let's split it into two pages", or "Does  
anyone mind if I change all the instances of LISP to Lisp on this  
page?" In other words, stuff that has no direct impact on the project  
itself.

Admittedly I'm just making this up but it seems better to me to have  
the project page be the one-stop-shop for information about the  
project itself which can include appropriately digested discussion.  
Or maybe I'm on crack.
