I recently read in the forum about that profanity list and thought I should browse through the lists in general (and that profanity one in particular:). When I then arrived there I was first amazed at how 努力 (just sounds better in Chinese:) my fellow Chinese learners had been. Then, however, I found it rather time consuming to go through them (and there wasn't a page xx/out of pages, so I didn't how long I would need). Although I then found the profanity list quite easily with the search function, it wasn't easy to just browse intelligently. Being able to show more lists on one page would have already helped but perhaps a clever categorization would be best...especially considering that the amount of lists will be increasing.

PS Can't believe I missed that t-shirt competition...man:)

A couple of things that would help the custom list organisation:

- organizing lists into sections, rather than adding multiple lists with single sections

- textbooks added to the textbooks section, rather than the custom lists

Ratings would be helpful to search for the best lists.

We have a handful of ideas for organizing the lists.

Ratings are one thing. We also want to do a tagging/category system, so you could browse through topics and tags to search for what you want to learn. That's on the list of things to do.

I was also thinking what might be good is to have a wiki. People could then organize existing lists however they like. Teachers could have their own wiki page for lists they want for their classes along with instructions, people can organize series of lists they publish onto single pages along with more extensive information about that series, lists from different people but with similar themes could be grouped on pages, things like that. Would take a lot of upkeep, though, but the Skritter community is nothing short of driven! What do you guys think, could it work?

@scott: Would a wiki be easy for you to set up? That would be very useful.

wiki would be cool, so many motivated people here and no trolls...

Don't think it would be too hard. A quick search brought up a handful of existing django-wiki extensions I could install.

As always we've got tons to do, though, so it would have to be prioritized with everything else we're getting done.
