Is there a reason you did this off-list?  Resolving it on the list might
help others.

What errors are these?  I scraped the code off the Wiki and ran it without
any problems.

The stuff currently on the wiki should be taken off without delay.

This seems extreme to me.  There is a tab on every Wiki page that shows the
revision history. [1]  The major revision seems to be formatting and
comments.  If there is a revision that is detrimental to the page, it can
be reverted, but the changes seem worthwhile to me.  There is also a
discussion page for each Wiki page.

Wikis are naturally a little messy, but I don't see any reason to abandon
it at this point.
