If you haven’t noticed by now, we here at Xanga have started building a series of niche-focused partner sites, using the same technology that powers Xanga itself.  One of the projects that I worked on recently was site-wide forums, which you can check out right now on a few of the partner sites (forums.momaroo.com, forums.revelife.com, forums.xanga.hk).  We’re going to be adding forums to Xanga itself, and I’m curious to find out what you guys would like to see in them.  What kind of categories would you be interested in?  What features are most important to you in a forum?  What do you think of the current forum design?

On a related note, I’m working on adding wiki functionality to our platform.  Think wikipedia (we’re going to use the same open-source software that powers their site).  The specifications aren’t finalized yet, so I’d appreciate any feedback on this feature as well.  Would you be interested in reading/editing site-wide wiki pages?  What topics would you be interested in?  Would you want your own personal wiki page that you could moderate, and if so, what would you use it for?

Well, that’s all for now.  Happy blogging!
