Actually, I think that it's reasonable, given the context, for us to just slap a note that all wiki content is copyrighted by the PSF -- after all, that's what we do for the rest of the website content, and the wiki is really just part of the website. We probably should add that the contents are licensed under Creative Commons and that probably needs a board decision about exactly which license we're using. -- Aahz ([email protected]) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "Do not taunt happy fun for loops.
