Forum to Wiki, but not Wiki to Forums?

At the top of every forum page there's a link to LV's wiki, but there doesn't seem to be the same from Wiki to the Forum. (Or am I just stubbornly blind?)

The only links to the forums which I am aware of in the wiki are the "important forum posts" section that was near the bottom of the main wiki page last time I checked.

I don't think there is a link to the main forum page in the wiki though.

You could always put a link to the forums in your wiki page

which I've done. wasn't thinking of myself. but would be nice if there were something uniformly there in the hedding for all, particularly newcomers and le wiki-challenged.

The LV logo at the top of the Wiki help screen is rwdundant, it brings you back to the Wiki help page, no matter where in the wiki you is: http://librivox.org/wiki/moin.cgi/LibriVoxWiki

Maybe that need only be changed to LV home?: http://librivox.org/

I think it's unwise to not have an easy to find "home" link in the wiki, the "home" being the wiki's main page. Otherwise people will need to search to find the main wiki page again. It is not redundant, it's standard navigation. I think perhaps a link to the LV home and forums could be useful as well.

agreed. main icon should be wiki home; but there should be (if possible) links to forum & librivox.org ...
