General Discussion Pages
There are quite few such pages, and here are some explanations to suggest which discussions belong where . . .
Discussion Format: Discusses what format a discussion should have.
Meta Discussion: Where are we going, what are we doing, who are we anyway? Should we have more joseki discussion pages? How can we get more such high quality content on the SL as Charles Matthews is contributing?
Future Use of SL: This is very similar to Meta Discussion. As the title suggest, it's for even more general or long-term question. How will SL look like 5 years from now?
LibraryLobby: What's up? The answer should be on this page. The most interesting ongoing discussions should be linked from here. If you find it outdated, why not drop a link to what you currently think worth reading? That may help an interesting discussion to survive, that would otherwise get lost in the daily hectic of Recent Changes.
Coffee Machine: SL is not a chat room, but even in the hardest working company people find time for a break if they have to queue at the Coffee Machine. Informal discussion that won't contribute to the eternal wisdom of SL forever has its place here.
Guinea Pigs Feedback: This is mainly for feedback to Arno about technical problems. "My browser gazillo 17.42 on minix 11.5 doesn't display SL Statistics properly if I hit the reload button four times. Where is the problem?" -- "I would like to use a German a-Umlaut in a page title, this does not seem to work?" -- Be nice to Arno, he does all the maintenance work for this site, and he is usually wonderfully responsive. As it cannot be said often enough on these pages -- many thanks, Arno!
Messages to People Currently Present in the Library: This is for short messages that outdate really quickly. A Recent Changes Junkie should not miss anything if he has been offline for a few days, comes back to a web browser and skips all Recent Changes in this page.
If that's more than enough Meta and Discussion for you for now, why not dive back into the library via a Random Page?
