Using tables instead of lists
I think tables are a better format than lists, because people can then sort by time, frequency or location or whatever. With the table sorting capabilities of Mediawiki, it would be easy to group all nets in a single table and allow people to easily comb through the nets to find what they want. For this, the wiki needs to be upgraded. However, the format in Nets_table is for me inadequate because it duplicates information. I would rather use a format like this one that is more compact and easy to browse (ie. we don't want to separate by day too much, it can be just another column). The only thing I am unsure about is wheter we want to have a table for everywhere or per continent... -- TheAnarcat 07:44, 12 November 2010 (CST)
