Of course these were only samples, but maybe one can settle to a least denominator. Dirk Wenzel replied to a question regarding roaming profiles: Dummy XP users tend to cover their desktop with images and other large files - being synced with any login/off. Accordingly there is a good explanation at http://de4.samba.org/samba/docs/using_samba/ch04.html how to handle those profile directories and hide them from users. ... > > Kind regards, > > and as a conclusion: try to write at least 3 words with any wiki > > edit. > > I guess I'll stop edit wikis then.... Well, maybe my first conclusion is too pretentious. How about this: - try to write at least 3 words with any wiki edit that removes contributions of other people. - *try* to write comments for major edits (non-trivial i.e.) When fixing typos, I just write "typo", when creating a page, I comment "init". But after all, a Wiki has some things in common with a SVN/CVS and hence deserves some comments from its contributors. Regards Ralf
