Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Wikipedia like psub building wiki

["Alan James" <alanjames@xtra.co.nz>]

the problem being that someone needs to volunteer for the task..
I nominate Sean.
I guess in an area that someone is passionate about they may want
to summarize a thread. There have been a lot of "stand alone" emails
that would be easy to just paste under a certain heading. Whatever
it's going to be a great resource for anyone new to the group, &
save the old hands a lot of time explaining things that have been
well worked over in the past.
