Is anyone working on a Discourse Wiki?

[mcwumbly (Dave McClure)]

There is a workaround for this that we have been using in a slightly different way:

Default hiding of replies (just hiding them by default would be sufficient I think).

The gist of it is that you hold the discussion in a separate topic.

Some more info here:

Editing a post should make the grey unread count appear in the topic list

In order to make the download topic bubble to the top on edits, I did the following:

1. closed the topic so the only post is the OP
2. deleted the automatic ‘this topic is closed’ post

So now, the first post is the last post, and it benefits from the special behavior where topics are bumped when the last post is edited.

A similar thing could be done for Wiki topics. Discussion about the wiki post could be held in a related topic. If the wiki topic is closed and that automatic message is deleted, then edits to the wiki topic should let it bubble up.

Far from the entire solution you are looking for though…
