Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

I'm all for a EuroTribopedia. The problem is, that's what the ET Wiki was supposed to be and it fell flat. What allows wikipedia to thrive is, in no small measure, that the discussion pages and the user and user-talk namespaces provide support a community not unlike a community blog.

There should be a single site with shared logins, because asking people to maintain separate accounts and log on to the separate sites would totally defeat the purpose. Also, the community lives on the community blog in our case.

Ideally, the "static" content would be another "section" of the ET site.

It is already possible to organise the same information in more than one way. For instance, look at

http://www.eurotrib.com/section/Diary

and

http://www.eurotrib-com/user/Migeru/Diary

As I said before, we don't need a more complicated database except possibly for revision history and multiple authorship of content. The way the database is displayed is up to our imagination (as illustrated by the "general" vs. "personal" diary views above).

Ack the problem with ET Wiki.  I can think of a couple of ways to hack around the problems. All of 'em require the source code needs to be hacked or intensive human effort.  Neither approach is realistic.

How easy is it to hack into the Scoop User Interface code?

Oh gods, goddesses, and all the ships at sea; Scoop is written in Perl.  

I keep repressing that fact.
