Right -- I've never even heard of using a wiki as a place for discussion. It's just an easily updatable reference. It would make a lovely place to have a community-updatable FAQ. Benefits: More than one person can update it so the burden of a standard mailing list FAQ can be distributed among more people. Having a place for people to go means they don't have to dig through archives to find frequently discussed topics. -Katie _______________________________________________ Are you a Help Authoring Trainer or Consultant?
