Indexing topics across threads on this site

I am bringing this forward from the lounge as a quote, since I think we are approaching a critical juncture here.

"Which actually brings up a point that needs expressing on this site. (Maybe in the suggestions thread?)  The topics are going so far afield in so many different threads -- we need to introduce some hyperlinks or something to index key words if we are going to keep this from getting totally unwieldy."

This sounds like a job for "The Wiki"! 

AccountAbility, I agree with you the forums are growing enough that it looks like time for a little molting.  Unfortunately, discussion boards just arent designed to manage "stable" content very well, since just about everything keeps moving around in a "stream of consciousness."  That's why I started a couple of topics where I could keep editing the first post.

If Joe ever decides to bite the bullet and add a wiki section to Kiva Friends, I'll certainly help develop and maintain it. 

In the meantime, if you have some thoughts on how best to cross-reference some topics with links, you always could start a new topic for that purpose then update the first post as you get more suggestions.

Take a look at  Kivapedia.  This will be a good way to cross-index topics, articles and "all things Kiva."

BTW: Dont forget to add the Wiki to the links at the top of the forum page.

I'm sure Joe will get around to that "real soon now"!
