Webbased Interface (Universal) Ok, we have that. > 2. Question/Answers We also have that (OpenQuestions page) but in general we prefer to create new pages for problems. > 3. Knowledge repository Yes, the wiki is that. > 4. Regular user base That is also true, if you look at the RecentChanges page. > 5. Chat, Messages, Helping Hands All good Emacs and XEmacs users hang out on #emacs, of course. /JOIN is now on irc.freenode.org -- see http://www.freenode.org/ > 6. All in one place Yep! > 7. More thinkable application I wonder what that is? > 8. Faster Learning Curve We have the fastest learning curve! > 9. Faster Idea Exchange I assume this is not a property of the userinterface but of the userbase! I would like to think that the wiki does that, but I think the fact is that most of the new stuff first needs some throwing back and forth, and that happens on #emacs, where other people will provide immediate feedback. > 10. Archive Search Have that. > 11.(My familiar interface :-). Join the wiki side, my son! Together, we can rule the Empire! Alex.
