*Any firm policies on what can/can't/should/shouldn't be included?
That's really open for discussion. However, as I said in the first post I think we should keep it strictly technical. Peoples stories about their own Macs for either their own talk pages (and subpages thereof) or the forums. MLAgazine was headed in the direction of being just a bunch of stories collated. I'd like this to be written in a unified way.

Also, I guess we should ask website owner's permission before copying anything (pictures, etc) -- unless it's released under the FDL or similar. That applies to copying from Wikipedia as well. Although the text is FDL, a lot of the pictures aren't -- so it's worth checking before we go a stealing!

Aside from that, I can't think of anything (on topic) that shouldn't be allowed.

As for what should be included... I'd like to see full specs on each machine, specs of as many upgrade cards as possible, overclocking information and things along those lines. I'd also like to see if we could start building a driver database -- though I'll have to look at upgrading the hosting if we're going to be doing that, so that's a secondary priority at the moment.

*Isn't prefacing model articles with "Macintosh" a bit superfluous? It's of no aid at all to sorting, and it's not like Apple has had so many product lines that anyone with even a casual familiarity can't tell them apart.
Possibly, but it seems like the correct way to do it. I debated with myself over this one quite a bit to be honest. In the end I decided it would be best to have the actual articles at "Macintosh Model" and then have the simpler "Model" pages redirecting to them.

*I'll start working on some templates when I feel ambitious again. I'm still a little deflated from the loss of the MLAgazine wiki.
Cheers, yeah MLAgazine was a bit of a loss! Although it was only just getting started, a few people had put a lot of effort into it.

*Do we have support for parser functions? All the cool template stuff requires parser functions.
Um, to be honest, I don't know! How could I tell? If we don't then I'm sure they can be enabled. [:o)] ]'>
