This would mean modifying the wiki software, right? This in turn would cause problems with, for example, security updates. > - Cale Best wishes, Wolfgang _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
