[chrisaldrich] Why not use github reactji or commentary/UI ideas/outlines on pre-existing issues? They're less likely to be individual-focused (and thus less stress on maintainers who may already be spread thin) and provide a better communal perspective that anyone might be able to pick ideas/issues up for fixing/development. It also has the benefit of not being yet-another-place-to-check.

[dave] I don't know if this was a good idea or a bad idea, but I converted one of my blogs to a WordPress multisite and merged a smaller blog into it. It was a rough, partially manual process, but not too terrible. Anyone else have experience doing that and pros and cons of it? I'm thinking about merging up two others into it soon but they've got more content and complexities.
#
[chrisaldrich] I've always wanted to try that [dave], but never done it... I've been tempted to try a multisite for IndieWeb, but I'm not aware of anyone here off hand who does/has.
#
[chrisaldrich] What is WordPress multisite?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "WordPress multisite" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "WordPress multisite is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[dave] My main motivation is that my host dinged me for too many concurrent DB connections, and I'm still not 100% sure what all caused that, but I figured managing 5 wordpress installs left a lot of space for potential intrusion to happen

#
[tw2113] i could see pros and cons to going multisite
#
[tw2113] that said, i have 4 separate installs with very different purposes and i host on digital ocean so they don't really care what i do with my VM
#
[tw2113] though i probably should add in an off-VM backup location
