"Common sense" is something that is "intuitive". BoyWiki should "be intuitive" (make sense) to users. At this point, it really doesn't. This discourages readers as well as contributors.

I am trying to find a way - within the limitations of the wiki format - to make things "make sense" to the readers and the contributors. Most people don't have the time/inclination/skills to comb through BW to find the good materials it contains. That is one reason why BW is criticized so fiercely by some.

BW just "doesn't make sense" to the average person. Wiki software was designed by computer programmers, and NOT by educators. This is also often a serious problem in the field of education - the ones creating the computer programs which make the information accessible don't think like "normal folk" and so they often design software which is basically unusable to regular people.

I am (along with working on a large number of other, unrelated-to-BW things) working on this problem here.

I will find a way to make BW user-friendly! But I may stumble along the way.

My bad...

Please leave the two entries "as is" for now. I will have to ponder this further. P~
