I'd advocate that this is probably the most useful way of doing the wiki - put your own project intros on the wiki, it invites discussion which can be done on the wiki, and unlike forum threads, the page can be reworked to display the most up to date text, rather than trawling through an entire thread (eg. Alt web programming models thread - 80 odd posts). I'll try to put up something shortly. Cheers
