On the same topic, I am more distressed at this editing policy. Someone 
could easily be malicious and log in and erase everything. Are we sure 
there isn't a better way to do this?

Thanks, Derek, right on target.

Anyway, if anyone would be really malicious, we still have daily backups 
of the Wiki.

welcome to the wonderful world of wiki!
for a wiki-background on *exactly* this 
issue, please look at:
http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?WhyWikiWorks
and
http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?WikiWipeout
and, for an alternative type of wiki:
http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?SecureWiki
and, yes, there are probably alternative ways
of doing things - any suggestions as to one
that retains all the benefits of wiki and provides
a guarenteed "security"??
