Best Christmas ever! Thanks for doing this - I think overall it'll have a
positive effect on the documentation and on the community, even if there are
occasional problems.

My only request is that, if possible, you install Semantic Forms and
Semantic Drilldown on the site; which will allow for moving at least some of
the content from the SMW Community Wiki (smw.referata.com) to
semantic-mediawiki.org. There's an argument to be made for moving all of the
content there, but certainly the "Tips" category is an obvious candidate for
moving over, now that everyone can contribute.
