That point was meant to be 'strike while the iron is hot' and have somewhere
to link the stricken.

My picture of this was simply to carry on at the 'end' of the meeting page, and
transfer interesting threads to their own pages. ...

Perhaps the label could be changed to 'Continue the discussion' or
"Read comments' ...

A problem with wikis in general is that humans are good using
categories, but bad
at categorising things. The use of categories should be secondary.

We can discuss this.

I bigger problem is that my login seems to have stopped working.

Next month, I will sort out my passwords.

May I re-jig the front page again?
