There are probably 5-10 folks out here, myself included, that would be willing and happy to help out. As a Wiki user of less than 24 hours (ruccus.org - I was looking for someplace to post a few Linux made tunes as I don't have a server) I'm impressed by how much can get done on a Wiki. I would be a bit concerned about turning your site into a completely open Wiki system where anyone could put anything there as you have kept up a high quality level and I wouldn't want to see that deteriorate over time, but Wiki technology might be cool for those of us that don't do HTML. (Not that I couldn't learn.) If there's a way I can help out a bit let me know. - Mark
