Nice to see a batch of wiki edits this weekend by shyde and jeckyll 
(funny how people seem to use their real names on the list, but their 
favorite handle on the wiki).


jeckyll added the page:
http://mvpmc.wikispaces.com/startup.squares

that covers what happens during the bootup sequence when mvpmc is 
printing the boot progress meeter on the screen. Nice detailed write up.

It would be good if you added a paragraph explaining how you determined 
this, and linking to relevant source file in the repository, so when the 
code changes it'll be easier for the next person to find the correct 
behavior and update the wiki.

It would also make sense to cross link (or merge) with the existing page 
on the boot sequence:
http://mvpmc.wikispaces.com/boot


shyde updated:
http://mvpmc.wikispaces.com/timeserver

to indicate that when setting the time server via the web interface it 
only had to be an rdate compliant server in versions prior to 0.3.5, 
implying that the code has been patched to use NTP. How about clarifying 
that? Can you use either type of server now? NTP only? Mentioning the 
date at which the patch was first incorporated into the nightly builds 
would be good.


shyde also changed:
http://mvpmc.wikispaces.com/dongle.config
 > rdate -s 192.168.1.42
to
 > export NTP=192.168.1.42

I don't think the export does anything useful there. The script is 
sourced by rcS and thus runs in the same shell context. I also don't 
think there are any child processes that would make use of that variable 
from the environment.


In other matters, it looks like we have two pages that cover largely the 
same information:
http://mvpmc.wikispaces.com/dongle.config
http://mvpmc.wikispaces.com/mvpmc.config

Any objections if I merge these? (One page can be set to redirect to the 
other.)
