-This is the page that came up when I clicked the Discussion tab.  Does this mean it's the main discussion page or that I'm just starting a discussion?  I like the tooltips on the toolbar.

-Where do we store images?  Can we have external image links or do all need to be internal?
-[[Image:Example.jpg]]
-:Images can be uploaded.  There is a link normally for this, but it is disabled in new installations and must be enabled with a text file change.  I don't remember whether external images can be allowed.  I think that also is a configuration change but I am not sure.  [[User:MichaelWestwind|MichaelWestwind]] 14:50, 15 Oct 2004 (PDT)
-Now I understand - this is the discussion page for the Main page. [[User:Moedee|Marie]]
-Ok, now it think it's time to think about what might be useful to have on the Main Page. Material about Mediawiki and wiki selection can probably move to another page. How to use it and FREE GEEK links can probably move up a bit. --[[User:Ideath|Ideath]] 19:02, 18 Nov 2004 (PST)
-Why doesn't FreeGeeks add just a normal forum?  -- [[User:Don|Karter]] 00:39, 16 Dec 2006 (PST)
-== Current Events Section ==
-I think the current events section should be included on (not linked to from) the main page. There should always be three or four things in it, but not much more than that. Some folks don't monitor recent changes and a current events section might help them get into the current conversations.

-:I put the current events section back on the main page and renamed it "Evolution".  It seems to me it is a bit out of date, though.  In other matters, the [[Free Geek Structure]] page is out of sync with the structure section of the main page and I have been thinking on the best way to reconcile them.  [[User:MichaelWestwind|MW]] 22:16, 31 May 2005 (PDT)
-::Well I renamed this section to "Core issues & collaboration", I think it sounds more like things to help out with - [[User:Matteo|Matteo]] 21:58, 26 November 2006 (PST)
-== Protecting the Main Page ==
-The most frequent vandalism we get is to this page.  I could protect it and then only sysops could edit the page, but would the inconvenience be worse than the inconvenience of dealing with spam? -- [[User:MichaelWestwind|MW]] 14:19, 11 Jun 2005 (PDT)
-== Confusion about list categories ==
-I'm confused about what counts as "programs" in this list. Adoption, Build, GAP, ok: but front desk? There are a lot of lists of links on this page. I think things like the [[Room Use Calendar]] are the most important things to have one click away from the front page. (I know it's already there, but it's buried in all the stuff; i only found it upon seeking.) There's just too much clutter on the front page. Says me. --[[User:Ideath|Ideath]]
-I am also a little confused about how things are catigorised on the front page. I attempted to move things around to better the page. I have lots of ideas, and should probabley work with somone on any other changes. It's probabley better to move things like Structure to be only a link to its own page. -- [[User:Matteo|Matteo]]
-I'd like to see the content of the main page re-chosen from scratch. If y'all agree, let's start off with a wiki page where we discuss WHO we want the main page to serve (new users? frequent users? technophobes? geeks?) and WHAT we want it to do for them. Once that stuff is pretty well resolved, it should become clearer HOW we want to accomplish that. Whatcha think? --[[User:Halfasspete|Pete]]
