Hi Don, Crispin etc.

>I haven't had time to look at the swiki pages but in principle I think
having members edit one another's work will not work out in the long run. In
the late 1970's or early 80's a poet friend of mine invited me and some of
my students to paint a large mural on the side of his building. I opted for
each of us taking a section. (There were four of us) No, they wanted to mix
work and paint all over. We ended up editing each others work all day long
and as a result nothing satisfied any one of us. Crispin, Jason and I have
been doing similar work this year but again, these do not end up as
satisfying to me becuase we overpaint or
overdraw each other's work. <

I actually don't mind the idea of overpainting each other's work. My only
concern with the swiki is that the front page downloads fast and just
contains content listing/vital introductory info. As far as the rest of the
swiki goes I think it will be more fun if we modify each other's work,
although I agree that some people may not like the results as much as
others.

cheers,

Sol.
