If you don't have the money to pay for a "web designer", than a wiki is a heck of a good solution. Compare the quantity and quality of information at http://laptop.org (which has a "web designer") and that of http://wiki.laptop.org. Yes, there ought to be a happy medium. But your snark completely misses the real problem, which is not a question of tools at all, but of organization and someone-to-organize. --scott -- ( http://cscott.net/ ) _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
