Brainstorm

General

• Remove the skins table temporarily. Waiting on a bug fix and the update should be posted here
• About this site section should have 2 sections, one from each cofounder and their personal reasons why they started this wiki project. (Maybe not?)
• Guidelines for taking photos needs to be expanded on
• For subway color usage as well as Korean colors for tables. Grey and white tables can look dull after a while.
• Special youtube video account for our website
• Videos or animated gifs showing conjugation in action for irregular verbs as well as the differences in V + 다가 vs V + 았 / 었 + 다가 (etc).
• Make the getting started page more special looking.
• Similar to the learning 한글 section, a step by step section for learning Korean.
• Section that makes comparisons for grammar, for example when to use each future tense and 하다 vs 되다 verbs. What do we name it?
• If we don't mind using outside content, we could include nice videos done by people like KoreanClass101.com on relevant pages. For example, I think they have a video Hangeul lesson. Along with providing information, we can also organize the great stuff on the net. That would help make it so we don't have to create so much original content (at least in the beginning).

How about making our own youtube videos for completed vocabulary pages? This would have to be in the future after we get all the basics done. - Bluesoju 02:07, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Also similarly to how you use youtube videos on your site, how about some clips for slang and perhaps idioms. We can display the subtitle in Korean and English and show a short clip from a movie or show. For example at the beginning of Old Boy one of the cops says that "this guy must really want to eat 콩밥" and that could be added on the 콩밥 page. Perhaps we might want to create a separate youtube account so these little clips don't clutter your old account. -Bluesoju 00:12, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

• Add a section with a list of good books as well as reviews. I think this would be quite helpful for those wanting to learn. . . I've been pretty much hunting the internet and bookstores in Korea to pick up the books I use. Another list of useful web resources would also be useful.
  • Maybe we should move the Resources link on the sidebar up again, users might miss that. I also like the idea about having book reviews. -Mstrum 01:31, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Grammar template

• Add language translation to the button
• Table for conjugation rule?
• Colored tables ?
• Cases for past tense, present tense, future tense if the cases are different

Getting the word out

To-do before campaigning

• Complete guidelines, standards and help

Methods

• Send messages to K-bloggers
• Find other language learning sites and post a message

Software or extensions

• Anti bot and spam filter for registering.
• Search suggest box needs to get bigger like wikipedia's. Our's currently stays the same.
• Extension to include flash content (SWF files)
• Special custom message before the user creates a page or makes an edit (like wikipedia does)

Forum

• Set up forums (either vBulletin or phpBB would be fine)
  • Add link from Top (to the main page) and HelpTop (to a help section)

Learning Hangeul

I've used the talk page for the Learn hangeul section to propose a format so we can begin work on it soon.

Hangeul Assistant

• Check Hangeul Assistant for more info

Work on toolbar

• Anything else? (languages and native check are in the pipeline, they don't work quite yet)

Text Message Program

A flash program that could be embedded and has a screen like a phone. The user can use standard or "sky" mode and practice text messaging in Korean. The result should look like as if it was being typed on a real phone. Bluesoju 04:42, 13 April 2009 (UTC) (my new name)

Slang

• A meter for politeness or rudeness? For example cuss words can be rated on it's offensiveness.
  • Maybe a star rating template we can use other places? (like {{1star}} or {{rating|1}})
• Info on who you can use it to, for example 구라(lie) should only be used to friends, it could be rude to a person you don't know. There are other slangs where it might be ok to use it to people you don't know.
• Warning for mature content sections necessary? (sexual words and cuss words)
  • Yeah, we should probably have a sub-section of offensive and adult-natured content

Misc

• A section on words that are considered feminine or masculine. For example it's mostly women who say 미워 to men. Also the interrogative form A/V + 니 sounds feminine where as men mostly use A/V + 냐 instead.
  • Good idea, maybe this could be one part of a new section like 'Spoken' or 'Conversation'
• 사투리 section with each dialect.
  • Where should this go? Would it need to be another section? Maybe it could be part of the 'Spoken' or 'Conversation' section that has extra information about when you speak.
• A list of important 한자 - 과, 대, 중, 소, 인, 출, 입, 불 etc
  • Maybe this should be another section, what do you think?
