    (SpamBlacklisting is working now)
    (We should drop Publish Wiki and use wiki->xhtml conversion for creating publications, collated according to consumer preferences - Wiki governance woes would be more then halved)

    I've been thinking about the non-wikiness and extra hassle that comes if we try to get this thing working using three wikis:
    *[[Develop Wiki|this one (Develop Wiki)]]
    *[[Research Wiki]]
    *[[Publish Wiki]]
    Inevitably that would lead to inconsistencies, wasted working hours and frustration.
    I think that it would make sense to drop the [[Publish Wiki|third wiki]] and replace that with non-editable html. I'm not using the word static, because an article or more likely a set of articles from [[Research Wiki]] will be merged for publication. This stage would allow the [[Preferences]] (that have been at the heart of the whole concept of [[Consumerium]] right from the start) to be implemented.
    I asked around at #mediawiki on http://freenode.net about [[wiki]] -> [[html]] conversion since there are hundreds of sites serving [[Wikipedia]] content as static html I thought that either all those sites invented the wheel for themselves or there is a freely available tool, and there is one developed within [[mediawiki]] development [http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/wikipedia/phase3/maintenance/dumpHTML.inc?rev=1.3&view=markup here is the .inc file] and [http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/wikipedia/phase3/maintenance/dumpHTML.php?rev=1.1&view=markup here is the .php file] (from the 1.5 alpha tree)
