Without a system to check our spelling on the Wiki site, I understand your concern. However, I also think it is a group effort for all of us to be sure that the site is what we make it and want it to be. By allowing Ruth or anyone else in the group to make changes, we are all equal and able to take an ownership in this program. I am also concerned that if we have one editor of the site, it will only reflect his/her understanding and vocabulary - one that may not be reflective of the group (i.e. big words and fancy usage). I am also concerned with your message; I found 4 typos :0) I don't intend to start a debate about this subject, just sharing my opinion as have others.
