=== Process for Decision Making:  ===


In the Wiki, when something major needs to be changed, it's important for the community to be involved with discussing how those changes should be made. The following will help the engineering team know what is important to the community:

''(The following is a proposed process - please add your thoughts to the talk page.)''
<br>{{Suggestion
 
| Proposal = Wiki Community/Navigation proposal ~ Changing organization of navigation menus as well as removing the "Add Some Informationh" section.
*'''Make a suggestion:''' Begin by making a suggestion on the Forums or a Talk page so that others can chime in on the proposal.  
| Date = January 18, 2011
*'''Add your suggestion: '''Then add your suggestion to the page above. Create a new table and add a link to where the issue is being discussed.

*'''Set a priority: '''Add your vote to the "Priority Votes:" row with your username and what you see as the priority of the item from 1-5:

:As each person adds their priority, they should add their number into the average in the '''Avg. Priority''' row. If you are the owner, you should solicit at least x (how many?) votes for your item before you request that engineering review the priority.
