Welcome to The Mises Commons, the central discussion board where you can make announcements, propose new ideas, and ask questions of the entire community.

To add a new item, add a ==Level two header== to introduce it.

For discussion related to long-term planning and development, also see the Mises Wiki Google Group.


Style guide

I would like to recommend that we use the Chicago Manual of Style as a basis for a MisesWiki:Manual of Style rather than the Wikipedia Manual of Style. The WP:MOS makes a large number of stylistic concessions in order to appeal to international speakers of English, resulting in a MOS that incorporates a variety of styles. Mises.org uses CMS as its style guide, and I think it makes sense to use it here as well, as most of our readers are Americans. Two things affected are:

  • Spelling (use American all the time)
  • Punctuation in relation to quotation marks (commas and periods should always appear inside quotation marks)

I'm sure there are others, but these are the ones that come to mind. Thoughts? --Forgottenman (talk) 16:09, 29 November 2010 (CST)

New project

It seems we could use a new project for the organization of small things - checking links, wikification of text, creating stubs, etc. Also needs a way to easily vote on the next page of interest. Ideas? Pestergaines 18:05, 2 December 2010 (CST)

Sounds reasonable. I'll set it up with some ideas at MisesWiki:WikiProject Cleanup. We'll need to develop more cleanup categories. --Forgottenman (talk) 09:38, 3 December 2010 (CST)
