You make some good points, Ellie. However, it's been my experience that even a basic knowledge of HTML helped me learn Wiki syntax. I am by no means a coder, although I am married to one. Perhaps a better way to frame it is that learning Wiki syntax can help you learn to code easier? Christine

I'm very interested in this kind of thing, so much so that I'd like to follow a similar model locally. I'm not sure that I live in a large enough area to make it feasible, though. However, I think that it's a good model to recruit and retain editors, especially women, who tend to like editing in
