Raphel: RE collaborative Editing: actually I wanted the best of both worlds .... I really think that the article on the website should be a collaborative effort ... so go ahead and improve it as you like, I will use my original text as my own work if needs be (I might not need it after all so why waste a community resource)
RE wiki: If we are to have a wiki proper I think we should go with MediaWIki, but I am not sure it is worth the hassle. I mean if there is just going to be half a dozen contributers the admin pain outweighs the benefit ... and this is coming from a wiki addict! Also, to clarify : I was just making the point that drupal is a bit of a pain, but nothing we cannot work around (save as txt + diff ?) I think I did not explain my point properly in the previous post ... I nearly missed that change!! How could I! I hate cubes!! :-P Philip 2008/6/25 Raphael Borg Ellul Vincenti <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > I have run MediaWiki a number of times.
