Conversations

We've devised several mechanisms for recognizing and joining conversations within members of a community centered on a page title used as a topic.

We don't explicitly represent conversations the way forum software might. Instead we consider them transient structures that emerge through social processes.

We expect participants to conversations to extract whatever value they want from a conversation before it dissipates.

Rosters of various forms identify potential participants.

Sitemaps for participants are examined for recent twins.

Conversations are twins listed by topic title.

Lineup Links open all twin pages for a chosen topic.

Shift Hover compares refactored pages.

First and subsequent edits will be noticed by the recognition process described above. By this mechanism the participants in the conversation grows.
