Have an idea or an issue? Check here first!
Maybe you have a great idea but are not sure if there has been a lengthy discussion before. Did it get buried in the user diaries? Or, perhaps you have a question and cannot easily find an answer. Don't fear! Below is a catalogue of important wiki pages and user diary topics about global issues, collaboration, and proposals. Check to see what has been done first. There are some great editing tips here, too.
A quick thought before proceeding: Maybe an idea was not viable or considered before. This does not mean it would not be accepted now. Keep in mind that there may be a different set of active users than before. Still, old objections raise good points and should be addressed in any new proposal. Carefully consider what was put out there before, and make some changes to address possible concerns.
