Cool.  (Hard to believe it's almost Friday already ;)

Thanks!  I added a question there for you, but forgot to let you know
via email...  I think phpwiki could use a feature to notify someone
via email when a page changes.  (I'm sure it's on the drawing board
but might just add it myself quickly, since I need it ;-)

Yep.  I just created an nv-washoe list, which should follow the area
pattern I hope to establish to provide email list services to clubs
all over.  Eventually, the friends list may be just for discussion of
the BuyOrganic.org Internet project in general, (but for now it's
mostly discussion of orders in this area, as you noticed ;-)

Yeah, those are big advantages though, considering how much time I
spent manually adding things up for the last order, and still have
more work to do ;-)  I was about to setup an account on foodclub.org
the other day, but hesitated trying to figure out what to call it...
We might use multiple suppliers, and multiple accounts with the same
supplier.  I almost just called it foodclub.org/jeb to indicate the
account I admin, and I could change the supplier for whatever I was
coordinating at the moment, but what if I want to collect item lists
for multiple supplier at once?  Maybe multiple supplier-name accounts?
foodclub.org/mpw-jeb, pvfs-jeb, etc. (?)
