Re: Would a Wiki-site be an idea?

Hi Christian,

I hope you are well.  Actually, for me, a Wiki is the best tools that's come 
along since the keyboard.  

See Ward Cunningham's orginal WikiWikiWeb at 
{http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?RecentChanges} or 
{http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?TimDysinger} or the MeatBall 
{http://usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl} or WikiPedia {http://www.wikipedia.org/}
and make sure and visit SnipSnap {http://www.snipsnap.org}  which is the Wiki 
that I use personally to blog my work and catalog information.

It's the greatest way to track knowledge and project work in a free (but still 
searchable) format.

SP - Wiki logic is fairly simple.  I think a Wiki based on Barracuda would 
rock and be fairly simple to implement.  The SnipSnap guys would give you a 
run for your money, though.
