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

[Jon Wallace <jonw@psubs.org>]

Hi Sean,

I agree with you.  Your idea of linking is good and something I've 
already started doing.  When it makes sense to do so, I'm linking to 
other sources (Wikipedia, etc) both in text and at the bottom under 
"Additional Resources".  For example, I added an entry for the Kort 
Nozzle discussion going on now and just gave a brief summary with links 
to Wikipedia and the PDF file that Cliff sent out.

As far as the mailing list archives, we can link to the individual email 
as you suggested, or to an entire thread.  Each email in the archive has 
a link to others of the same thread, so we could link to the beginning 
topic and just let people continue reading the thread from the supplied 
thread-links.

There's a lot of flexibility, but you are correct that someone needs to 
volunteer for the task.

Jon
