Thanks & Kinda Slow?

Post #1 of 3 (436 views)

Thanks for help regarding the Creation of uncreated pages...I have a
few more questions.

Why is my website rather slow? Is there any way to speed it up? I
have DSL and it takes me 4-5 seconds to load each page...not instant.
Visit http://fantasygenre.com.

Secondly, is there any discussion board out there that can be created
for MediaWiki support rather than just a mailing list? If not, can I
create one where people can post questions, etc. (i'd take on all the
responsibilities/money for domain/hosting etc. since I own a server).

Thanks once again.

Well, there isn't a discussion board in the usual sense of the word,
but there is http://meta.wikimedia.org (a wiki for discussing, among
other things, the MediaWiki software). With that and this mailing
list, it might be a bit confusing to have a messageboard as well, and
the developers (who would need to be on hand to answer the more
complicated questions) have another mailing list too, and hang out in
#mediawiki on irc.freenode.net, so it might stretch them rather.

Lo,

This mailing list is also archived at http://www.gmane.org/

nntp://news.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.mediawiki
or
http://news.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.mediawiki

The later almost look like a forum :o)
