::Because keeping [[TCE]] type of stuff in it's own [[wiki]], the [[Opinion Wiki]], enables us to aggregate the information by using much simpler SQL. Queries are run periodically to update the opinion information in [[Publish Wiki]]. By implementing the needed collating in SQL we don't need to [[fork off]] from [[MediaWiki]], but can just concentrate on improving the [[Export-import]] functionality. | ::Because keeping [[TCE]] type of stuff in it's own [[wiki]], the [[Opinion Wiki]], enables us to aggregate the information by using much simpler SQL.

:::So, because you are not a great programmer, you propose making a [[bad user interface]] because it is easier to implement? Why not just recruit better programmers that can implement the right user interface? And in SQL there is no reason not to just have a more sophisticated query to distinguish things with certain tags from those without, i.e. "what goes to the [[Publish Wiki]]" etc. | |||
:by "won't be importing talk pages" you mean the [[Publish Wiki]] won't have them? Fine. what is the disagreement here? Also don't forget [[New Troll point of view]], when new information shows up, and new trolls to propagate it, the existing editors must assume they know less about that subject than they need to, since it's not been a previous area of expertise. Therefore they must back down in favour of more [[troll-friendly]] ways of determining what is so. This won't always be "quiet". | :by "won't be importing talk pages" you mean the [[Publish Wiki]] won't have them? Fine. what is the disagreement here?
