''This is a page where users can suggest and discuss new ideas for [[The Wiki Fire]]. With your help, the site will never get stale.''
 
  
== Versions in other languages ==
 
It is easily possible for [[The Wiki Fire]] to be in other languages than just English.
 
 
=== Pros ===
 
Is a great way for students to practice their foreign languages or foreign language students to get an escape from English.
 
 
=== Cons ===
 
Would be very difficult to police for [[Libel law|libel]] or other harmful statements.
 
 
== Collaborative literary magazine ==
 
It could be an entertaining, interesting and possibly educational experience to try to work on writing a piece of literature in a collaborative setting. This could exist in parallel to the encyclopedia. For an example of this already in work, see [[Wikifiction 1]].
 
 
Not all features in this literary magazine would have to be written in a collaborative setting. There could be a live workshop in which someone posts a piece they are working on, and other students read and comment on it. the only problem is that anything released on this site becomes available through a Creative Commons license. That should not really be a problem, though.
 
 
== 'Stuff' Ads ==
 
What about making a section where people could list stuff they want or stuff they want to sell or give away? Books would be the key thing, but also stuff like fridges, chairs, random college things. We could list the books by department and then users could post what they have. This would further allow us the avoid the bookstore. -afitz
 
 
* I think this is a great idea. What we may want to do is urge some organization with the free store to see if they can work together with something in a wiki format. They have a book trade system going, but it is still easier to just buy it off amazon. If TWF and the free store could create something that is easy to use, that could be invaluable. Anyone have an idea of how we could do this or think that could work? [[User:Tfooq|Tfooq]] 03:55, 9 June 2007 (CDT)
 
 
tanya does a lot with the free store, and angie martin too i think. i think if people just start coming to whatever we create and maybe if free store people put up the items they have on the wiki, that would be a start. --[[User:Afitz|Afitz]] 12:00, 9 June 2007 (CDT)
