Before I started the Scenarios project, I checked out the semantic wikis that were available, and concluded that none of them were able to do what I was trying to do with the scenarios project.
Though I might as well admit that part of the reason why I went ahead and started coding this was just for fun.
Thanks for offering to help try this out!

Though we shouldn’t need to make all of the wiki pages by hand. We should have some sort of automated tool that generates most of the content on the wiki pages from an annotated chat log, like that experiment I tried.
I think the way this tool should work is that it should scan a wiki page containing the annotated conversation, and generate an XML file in the format used by MediaWiki’s import tool. Then someone with admin access to the wiki can import the XML file using the import tool, or a regular user can manually copy the data from the XML file to the wiki.
Have you used PHP before?

And as for posting this idea as an actual post...
Maybe before I do that, I should make some of the changes I mentioned to the project, and actually try using it on an example argument or two.
Thinking about this project some more, it seems like these argument maps will fit in nicely with the scenarios map. Maps of arguments that a scenario will happen will fit in nicely with maps of things that could cause or prevent the scenario.
Or maybe if there are too many links, then everything will look all tangled… I guess one way to find out is to try it and see what happens...
Yay, finally some feedback!
Thanks :)

I guess I’ll use your cryonics argument and that other example argument.
