I think discussion about whether this email list transforms itself into
a Forum is of interest to the group as a whole. I, for one, much prefer
an email list, as new items come in whenever I log into my email, and I
don't have to fire up my web browser just to find out what has been
occurring.

What you probably should explain Jason is what a Wiki actually is, why
we should want to set one up, and, assuming one was set up, what to do

While Wikipedia already has some topics relating to gliding, I think we
