You can get Wikipedia on DVD... are you saying that this violates the data protection act? I'm not talking about backups of any personal information -- just the articles. This needn't even include each article's history. > Probably a few people will be able to edit content... very few people > will have access to delete... I was hoping that there would be more than just a few people with rights to edit. There are a lot of subscribers to this list, although most seem to lurk, but judging from the list, perhaps we could have at least 20 trusted users? I'd have preferred it if getting rights to edit could be a relatively informal process, especially for existing list members. Surely more than a few people will want editing access... so where are you planning to draw the line? I can understand the need for limiting the number of people with the ability to delete. > Request link which will appear on Wiki pages which will send through a > request for change... just a thought Yeah, but I think that's best avoided. IMO, the entire point of a wiki is that you don't have to request changes. Cheers, -- Stuart Brady
