Interesting. I wouldn't mind seeing our Wiki get promoted, especially since two new major Sonic games are going to be coming out, although I am curious as to what exactly this gentlemen would potentially change on our main page, along with optionally replacing our background and wordmark, and how it may help with promoting ourselves. Giving our main page a possibly-needed makeover is nice and all, but like with each proposal on such an issue I'd like to see some examples (like maybe a sample page/screenshot) on what this fellow would like to implement so we have time to discuss and think it over before we consider voting either for or against any of the proposed changes.

The Discussions feature sounds pretty neat. I don't see any harm in having such a feature enabled. It'd give Users more ways to interact with our Wiki, all the while adding a couple additional features that'd make it easier for us to moderate discussions and generally keep track of stuff going on around the Wiki (some of which is explained here). Besides, if the Forums are eventually going to be replaced anyway, then we might as well get everyone's input on it and see if everyone would be on board with implementing it ASAP, because the way I see it we're likely going to have to have it implemented eventually anyway so we might be better off enabling the feature sooner rather than later and allow ourselves to learn and get used to it now rather than wait to have it forced on us... but it's also just as likely that it may be better for us to sit and wait on this for as long as we can. Personally, I'd rather we wait as long as possible so we have time to wait and see if anyone comes across any potential issues the Discussions feature may have that should be addressed (what those issues are can be anything, from bugs to having certain features enabled that could be easily abused in some way to the detriment of everyone else using the feature, to name just a few examples). I don't know what problems, if any, the Discussions feature may have at this time, but I think it's better to be safe than sorry. But like I said, if this feature is going to be implemented eventually anyway, then we might as well go ahead and have everyone discuss about having it possibly implemented, because regardless of what any of us may personally think we should do with this feature as of now we should at least get a consensus of some sort on it ASAP.

As for the Mobile App, I suggest we also have a community discussion on whether or not we should enable our Wiki to have this feature, same with the Discussions feature. Although to be honest I'm less hesitant over the idea of us enabling a Mobile App than I am about the Discussions feature, since from what I can tell (as of this writing) it doesn't appear that the Mobile App feature is going to be something that will be integral to the Wiki itself like the Discussions feature is apparently going to be, since that feature is going to eventually replace the Forums. The Mobile App appears to just be a completely optional little feature that'd make it easier for people to browse around our Wiki while using a mobile device. To me it makes sense to have a Mobile App of our Wiki since a lot of Internet traffic is from mobile devices these days, and it'd be within our best interest to have a feature enabled that'd make those using mobile devices to have an easier time navigating our Wiki. But regardless, I still suggest we have a community discussion on it. It wouldn't hurt anything to get everyone's input on it before we do anything.

Anyway, these are my thoughts on Orko2814's proposals. I hope you find them useful.
