Test Main Page discussion

One thing that would be very useful for first-time visitors is to clarify the distinction between the terms CPDL and ChoralWiki. I've used the site for years, since long before it was a wiki, and I have no idea why those two words, with different colors no less, are sprinkled throughout this page. I mean, why "CPDL composers" and "...editors" and "...volunteers" but "Browse ChoralWiki"? I'm sure there's a logical reason for the choice, but it might be helpful to put it somewhere obvious.Choralnet 22:20, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

CPDL is the organization, and ChoralWiki is its (wiki) website. The term originated with Raf Ornes. -- Chucktalk Giffen 23:18, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
Choralnet raised an important point. I'm not myself particularly fond of the idea of using both terms interchangeably, and think CPDL should stick to its original name whenever possible. But of course somewhere on the Main Page is should be made clear that CPDL is a wiki, therefore open to everyone's contributions. —Carlos [[[:Template:Carlos]] Email.gif] 01:36, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
