Jeff and all, I have added links to my front page to your LinkBase site as well as some other HOWTO sites. (http://www.senecainfo.us/tiki/)
There has not been a lot of participation yet but well over 200 reads of the initial wiki HomePage. It looks like all the contributors are interested in all the possibilities ;-) LinkBase is good. I personally think that a wiki is good for certain pieces of a contrib site if people are willing to participate, but a week is not an accurate time-frame for feedback on a wiki, of course. Actually, Jeff's email would be a good page in the discussion wiki. By the way, I'm in the process of working with a few of the developers of tikiwiki to allow code mark-up on a wiki page (which will not interfere with wiki mark-up), which I believe will be a good addition for various rpm and perl tips/tricks, etc., as well as allow good long-term contributions/snippets to future HOWTO's and localization/translations. Time to make comments or actually add info to a wiki page is always short, but I believe that over the course of the next month or so, we may find some good solutions, or we may find that the solutions will sort themselves out on their own. At least the process has been started, which is a Good Thing.
