Peter (Halasz), um... your last post is probably not helpful. I happen to
agree with you that it is a good idea to make the chapter Wiki more open to

members, the ability to edit our wiki! doesn't even register on the things

If this idea could gain consensus, and get done by christmas I think that
would be wonderful :-)
cheers,
