Wikireason:Hibernation
From Wikireason
Several factors have convinced me that the Wikireason wiki should remain locked to all users except sysops for the near future. If I am convinced that the project can be productively revived, I will do so, but at the moment we do not have a community that is capable of maintaining the website, and I don't have the time to make things happen.

Progress on the project
I think that our biggest accomplishment has been the development of the logic tree format. I also like what's been done with our templates, especially the fallacy system, though this still needs more work.
Reasons for hibernation
Among our current problems are:
- Degradation of content. We never managed to create a consistent format across the pages of the website, making it difficult to get new users to use the official format. On top of that, spammers and hit-and-run editors were constantly disrupting the organization of the content and even deleting significant chunks of content inappropriately. I was unable to keep up with these demands, so I locked the content to prevent further degradation of the content, and permit administrators to get things organized again.
- The Wikimedia foundation has requested that Wikireason cease to use the Wikimedia color scheme in our logo. Discuss a new logo
- I have had some trouble maintaining the software. This is a technical issue that I will manage to resolve when I have more time to dedicate.
Conditions for revival
We need a small community that understands the mission of Wikireason and agrees to work within the policies that have been decided upon.
In the meantime...
- Keep abreast of announcements, or send a message to Adam letting me know that you want to be informed when Wikireason resumes.
- Discuss the Wikireason project at the Meta website.
