Info
Rationale
WF does not implement Echo notifications, and I doubt it will for a long time. With not that much more effort in the long-run, we can implement our own similar forum-style central discussion area with StructuredDiscussions/Flow.
Idea
This is a mockup for a possible WikiForum replacement that would utilise StructuredDiscussions. This board list would be on some page only editable by administrators, perhaps under a Board:
namespace (Board:Directory perhaps?
). Each page linked on here will also be in that Board:
namespace, and SD will be enabled on all of them through EnableStructuredDiscussions (won't show up unless SD is added). This still allows for a central place of discussion, but since the boards aren't under special pages, it's a lot less hassle to manage.
