The work wiki that we’re going to be using for our department’s reference manual is going full steam ahead — a student worker is going to be transferring over the content. It’ll be interesting to see how we end up using it when it is up and running for real. There weren’t really any major problems when we started to blog, so I’m hoping the transition to the wiki will be just as smooth. Lishost has been a great place to host the blog and wiki for work.
On the Comics4LibrariesWiki, I liked the way that Nat set up the Fantasy Comics page, and I think we’ll try to duplicate that organization across the site. I’m wondering though if once the lists are too long, it would be better to have an individual page for each title which could be organized and grouped by the wiki categories function of the software.
Other things possibly in the works: registering a domain name, and setting up an amazon associates account (proceeds from people buying through the wiki could be donated to a cause like CBLDF).

Utilizing the category function of the wiki would probably be the best thing.
Oh, and do we need the (number) thing after each entry?

We can get rid of the number thing, I think that was just a carryover from the original eleven’s list.
I will try to learn about using the category function ASAP!

Definitely bookmarking this Wiki, great job so far.
Might I suggest adding at least one work by Jacques Martin to your “Comics of the World” page? He’s one of the major comic book artists. His “Alix” series (adventures of a Gallish youth during and just after the period of Caesar’s Gallic wars) was the first comic books I ever encountered — it started in 1949 and went on to at least 1988. And did I simply miss seeing Herge’s Tintin series?

I will add Jacques Martin — if you have any suggestions for developing the Comics of the World section further let me know! Many of the pages aren’t very developed yet since we are just getting started. Hopefully in a few weeks we will have tons more content.
