This is just a note to remind readers that there is a Protel user's wiki at http://protel-users.org Any of us can register there for free and thus become able to quickly and easily add or edit information on the site. It would also be possible to build an archive there, where it would be safe from the vagaries of other providers (and even from my own technical difficulties, since the wiki could be itself archived elsewhere), but, at the least, the existing archive(s) should be referenced. There could be a mail-in facility that would allow the quick and easy addition of content to the site by simply sending it to a specific mail address; this has been useful on another wiki I manage to enable users to add content coming from mailing lists without having to go through a more formal process of logging in, etc. To see how it would work, look at http://myob-users.org/tiki-index.php?page=How+to+Mail+in+MYOB+Wiki+Content To add the facility will require administrative privileges. It would be useful if we had one or more volunteers to take on admin privileges, I can't always take care of these things. I would grant admin privileges to users known to me to have been supporters of the Protel Users community. (Note that the right to simply add or delete content in the wiki does not require admin privileges, but it does require registration, which is automatic upon confirmation of the applying e-mail address.) For information, I do own the domain protel-users.org and hold it in trust for the Protel Users Association; and the domain is hosted by lomaxdesign.com. Again, admin privileges for protel-users.org could and probably should be shared. Volunteers? Just to set up a procedure, I would vet any volunteers through the Protel Users Association mailing list at [EMAIL PROTECTED], instead of simply relying on my own opinion, which is necessarily limited and biased. ____________________________________________________________ You are subscribed to the PEDA discussion forum To Post messages: mailto:[email protected] Unsubscribe and Other Options: http://techservinc.com/mailman/listinfo/peda_techservinc.com Browse or Search Old Archives (2001-2004): http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] Browse or Search Current Archives (2004-Current): http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]
