Hi Andreas,

before I start ... thanks for being here with us. And being so patient
to answer all our questions :-)

Absolutely! Discussions will take place ... and this was the reason for
me to start the "what is important for users and us"-list. I think that
hasn't been clear from my side (sorry). Once we defined the "user tasks"
with the highest priority (or things we really need to avoid, like e.g.
advertising), it will be much easier to decide.

Okay, thanks. But, I propose to wait a bit longer until we have the full
list (I assume that people who never used a wiki will be confused when
forwarded to another page that looks different).

May be one solution, yes. But do the other think that this might be
helpful / desired for such a page?

Yep.

By the way, is there any page that covers the Extension/Template-Center
development (something like our Whiteboard pages)?

Cheers,
Christoph
