Thanks Hendrik, This sounds neat. I'm looking over alioth, have registered and am waiting for the confirming email. It looks like our project would best fit under topic "Installation/Setup". Still waiting to hear from others on this but I think that this will be the way to go. We may want to put a single page on newbiedoc-wiki and wiki.d.o pointing to whatever we create. Thanks, Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
