That's a great use for a PC WIKI.

Where are you located?

I called them today and asked them to look at the various engines 
available and select one to install on ibiblio for all content providers 
there to use. I hope to hear from them as to when we can expect to use 
it sometime next week.

It would be good if alt.pc people would join us in using it.

That sure is the truth. I look forward to adding resources and ideas to 
it. Whild talking to a friend starting a wastewater management 
curriculum at a nearby community college I came up with the notion of
creating a number of special mailing lists to support collaboration
between people developing various parts of a Wiki. Instead of using 
private email and addressbooks to solicit submissions to the Wikipedia
calls for input could be sent into special lists created expressly for 
the development of the Wiki.

I see the PC Wiki at the top of the pyramid with various forms of 
agriculture, waste recycling (reedbeds, constucted and artifial 
wetlands, etc.), architecture and alternative energy sources falling 
under its umbrella.
