I sent my input on Tuesday or Wednesday, IIRC. (Sorry I didn't get to send this to the announcements list in time... At least it has been posted on the website for a while, and there have been quite a few new visitors lately ;-) By the way, it's redundant to send things to both the friends list and the announce list, since everyone on the friends list is automatically subscribed to the announce list, (although I think this might need to be explained on the MailingLists page). This time it was helpful to send it to the friends list, since I wasn't available to approve it for delivery to the announcements list in time. Hmmm. > If you haven't already, you can quickly send in your input by > following the links provided at: > > http://buyorganic.org/live?US-FDA%20on%20GE%20Foods Notice the ugly URLs generated when putting spaces in page names. As far as I know the original Portland Patterns Repository Wiki doesn't allow spaces in page names at all, and I would like to disable the feature in this copy of PhpWiki at some point, because it can also mess up the consistency of reliability of internal links. Before then, I hope to re-factor all pages on our site to use WikiStyleNames. For example, [Environment] will be changed to EnviornmentNews, and [Recipes] will become RecipeBox or something, and the above page will be GeneticallyEngineeredFoods, or similar... > Though less urgent I might as well take the opportunity to let > everyone know that I've added links on the [Environment] page, to > the Hunger, Rainforest, LandMine, and Child Survival Sites.

You might want to use the [Link Name | http://URL] format when posting external links, because it's more concise, readable, and bandwidth efficient than a long URL linked to itself. (I'll help re-factor some of these when I get a chance ;-) Thanks for all your help on the wiki pages John!
