        <description><![CDATA[Thanks to Baerbel who's started adding to <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.hotwhopper.com/wiki/doku.php?id=start" title="Link: https://www.hotwhopper.com/wiki/doku.php?id=start">the new Wiki</a>, but it would be really great to get some more volunteers to help populate it. All you have to do is register on the Wiki (top right corner) and you can add to or edit the entries on these pages:<br /><ul><li>Climate change references and links&nbsp;- Now replaced by <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.hotwhopper.com/wiki/doku.php?id=climate:climate_resources" title="Link: https://www.hotwhopper.com/wiki/doku.php?id=climate:climate_resources">Climate Resources</a></li><li><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.hotwhopper.com/wiki/doku.php?id=climate:climate_change_blogs">Climate Blogs</a></li></ul><br />Editing isn't hard. There's an edit icon to the right of the screen. There are <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.hotwhopper.com/wiki/doku.php?id=wikiguide#who_can_add_to_or_edit_the_wiki" title="Link: https://www.hotwhopper.com/wiki/doku.php?id=wikiguide#who_can_add_to_or_edit_the_wiki">guidelines on this page</a>. If you were able to donate 10 minutes a day for a few days, the Wiki would grow hugely. Even just adding one or two links a day would help enormously.<br /><br />To get back to the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.hotwhopper.com/wiki/doku.php?id=start">Wiki home page</a> at any time, just click on the logo on the top left of every page. Any other questions, just ask. Any suggestions - please add. (Eg I think it would be nice to pretty it up in time, with images. For now, getting some data in there is the priority.)]]>

        <description><![CDATA[Once individual discussion threads garner more responses it'll get difficult to tell who replies to whom or which comment when we can only add a new response at the end. And not everybody will remember to reference who the response is to. Would it be possible / feasible to make threaded discussions possible where you can directly respond to a comment? The nesting wouldn't need to be too deep - one additional level as is possible in FB-groups should do, two at most.<br />]]>

        <description><![CDATA[In Australia we are in need of strong leadership to start driving policy hard in the discretion it needs to go.<br /><br />Both major parties have a cautious approach to climate change policy. Most of the main stream media seem to be at least a little carbon-friendly, or tie themselves in knots trying to be 'balanced'. Even the Greens' agenda seems a bit light on for drastic action on decarbonisation (and after a few decades of nothing much, that's what we now need).<br /><br />It would be useful to have a section where we can discuss what decisive action looks like, and what can be done to make it happen. And who we might dob in to lead the charge...<br />]]>

        <description><![CDATA[Here is an example of an inline quote:<br /><br />Andy:<br /><blockquote><div>What I was thinking about was a quote button on the edit bar that allows you to 
block-quote bits you have all ready cut-and-pasted<br /></div></blockquote>It's available via the paragraph dropdown-icon in the formatting menue.<br />]]>

        <description><![CDATA[How about having the ability for the moderator(s) to dedicate one or more discussions as "sticky" that is, they stay at the top of the list of&nbsp;discussions&nbsp;within a given subject area. For example, within "Climate and Weather" I notice there is a "<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.hotwhopper.com/chat/discussion/2/welcome-to-hotwhopper-chat#latest">Welcome to HotWhopper Chat</a>". It might be useful to have that welcome always stay at the top so newcomers can easily find it and feel welcomed <img src="http://www.hotwhopper.com/chat/plugins/EmojiExtender/emoji/little/smile.png" title=":)" alt=":)" srcset="/chat/plugins/EmojiExtender/emoji/little/smile@2x.png 2x" />&nbsp;<br /><br />Each area can have similar intro-type discussions, if desired.]]>

        <description><![CDATA[Several of the non-climate sites I use have an option to be notified via email if there is a reply to something I have posted.<br /><br />Many of them also have a "new" flag to identify items that you either have not read or that are new since your last visit. And of course an option to "mark all as read." Both are nice.]]>
