You folks do realize that it's an extremely simple matter to register
a domain (any domain) and have it seemlessly redirect to the wiki
currently setup. This would remove the blindtech portion of the name
if it's really a concern to people. I for one have no problem with
the wiki, regardless of where it's hosted. I would have hosted it
myself, but I've had too many bad experiences with trying to do good
things for folks and having it all thrown back at me for reasons I
never was made privy to. So, in an effort to prevent another such
occurrence, I declined hosting the wiki this time around. However, I
fully intend to add plenty of things to it as it grows, and will
happily take on any responsibilities for it that anyone would like me
to have, since I think it's a great resource, it's about time we got
everything in one place, instead of having them scattered all around
the web. And, if folks really want to, you are of course welcome to
link to and even quote articles from the wiki, that's what it's there
for. Perhaps if you discuss it with Gabriel, you may even be able to
mirror the wiki in it's entirety if the domain or reputation of it's
host concerns you. It's a group effort, anyone who wants to can step
up and perform effort on behalf of the group. This should now remove
the complaints that there is no place to post things,, or the
repeated postings asking where to find this or that program, simply
look on the wiki. If it's not there, then add it. That's why it's
there. This is a great thing folks, and everyone can benefit from it.
I do agree there should be some kind of disclaimer/license on the
site though, just to prevent someone from screaming their article was
stolen when some kind soul who is trying to promote vo takes an
article and posts it to another list. Because, you know it will happen.
It always does.
With the license/disclaimer in place though, it's easy enough to
point to it and say it's nobody's fault if you didn't read it, it's
on the site in plain view.
