A wiki is a community tool, and much like this mailing list, would only be "orphaned" if every member of the community decided to abandon it. There certainly is no financial incentive for anyone involved. What incentive usually motivates people to contribute to an online resource? Per my original note, I was offering to host it. However, based on the responses so far, I've just decided to create my own wikipedia account and I'm looking at what kind of looping information I might contribute there. So - as they say - nevermind :) Doug Travis Hartnett wrote: >The problem is insuring that all the info entered into whatever system >doesn't get orphaned after a few years.
