General

  • Front page should be rewritten to share both of the cofounders mutual reasons for starting this wiki project.
    • I went ahead and changed the text. You can edit it again if you think anything needs it. -Mstrum 05:31, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
  • Remove the skins table temporarily. Waiting on a bug fix and the update should be posted here
  • About this site section should have 2 sections, one from each cofounder and their personal reasons why they started this wiki project. (Maybe not?)
  • Guidelines for taking photos
    • I added a place holder here -Mstrum 05:31, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
  • A template asking for a native speaker to clear up some issue, definition or usage. For example "This page needs clarification from a native speaker or expert. Reason: _______ "
  • For subway color usage as well as Korean colors for tables. Grey and white tables can look dull after a while.

Text Message Program

A flash program that could be embedded and has a screen like a phone. The user can use standard or "sky" mode and practice text messaging in Korean. The result should look like as if it was being typed on a real phone. Bluesoju 04:42, 13 April 2009 (UTC) (my new name)

Slang

  • A meter for politeness or rudeness? For example cuss words can be rated on it's offensiveness.
    • Maybe a star rating template we can use other places? (like {{1star}} or {{rating|1}})
  • Info on who you can use it to, for example 구라(lie) should only be used to friends, it could be rude to a person you don't know. There are other slangs where it might be ok to use it to people you don't know.
  • Warning for mature content sections necessary? (sexual words and cuss words)
    • Yeah, we should probably have a sub-section of offensive and adult-natured content

Misc

  • A section on words that are considered feminine or masculine. For example it's mostly women who say 미워 to men. Also the interrogative form A/V + 니 sounds feminine where as men mostly use A/V + 냐 instead.
  • 사투리 section with each dialect.
  • A list of important 한자 - 과, 대, 중, 소, 인, 출, 입, 불 etc
