Brainstorm

General

• Front page should be rewritten to share both of the cofounders mutual reasons for starting this wiki project.
  • I went ahead and changed the text. You can edit it again if you think anything needs it. -Mstrum 05:31, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
• 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
  • I added a place holder here -Mstrum 05:31, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
• A template asking for a native speaker to clear up some issue, definition or usage. For example "This page needs clarification from a native speaker or expert. Reason: _______ "
• 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).
• A sandbox
• Special custom message before the user creates a page or makes an edit (like wikipedia does)
• 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?

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

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)

Forum

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

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.
• 사투리 section with each dialect.
• A list of important 한자 - 과, 대, 중, 소, 인, 출, 입, 불 etc
