   (One could actually also add a different forum to every page, but I would
not recommend that. But if need be, perhaps a few different specialized fora
for groups of issues [threads] could be appropriate?)

   Yes, I've already added a blog to most Project pages, I expect that they
might become quite popular for discussion of various proposals.

    That was simplest thing to add, maybe not be too necessary - we'll see
(it's presence does not definitely slow down anything if you don't put ot on
every page). There is no need to add it to every page, all members can check
their internal mail at the above MemberEmail page. It works just like
ordinary e-mail, but only among the WDDM members (registered in Wiki). If
you want to send internal mail, click on Compose, type in the To: field the
WikiName of another member (or choose it from the Contacts list), type in
the text, and click SendMail button bellow. Easy! Before that it is better
to prepare the list of Contacts by clicking repeatedly on Users in the top
menu. There is also Help there.
This could be useful in cooperative efforts on the Wiki pages - don't have
to go to external e-mail program if you wnat to coordinate something with
somebody who is also logged in Wiki working on the same thing.

 (Yes we now have two prominent links to WDDF, it would be nice, if WDDF
also put such a fast direct link to WDDM always visible to first time
visitors.)

  PLEASE, go ahead, and create it.
