Ohhh..., ok. Sorry for being so dense about this in the past. So your proposal is that we use Mediawiki template to do the actual formatting, and put the actual content into some sort of macro/function. >From a conversion and sysadmin point of view, this is a great idea in my opinion. The problem is that it adds another barrier to entry for potential tip authors in my opinion. We are assuming that the tip authors have or are willing to gain an intermediate knowledge of Mediawiki authoring, just so they can post a tip. In my opinion, this is probably a bad idea. This will keep people from posting tips, and will make it more difficult to edit tips. I'd love to hear other opinions of course. > ... > > Lets just go ahead on the Wikia. I think it's a great option, and am anxious to see which wiki works best for us. Thanks again! Tom Purl
