Me, as meanwhile only coWiki _user_ would like to find some structured
information about the healthiness/continuity of the project: what's new,
what's to come. Maybe this information is valuable for others too.

I would suggest - if it is not recoverable without any means - at least to
correct the broken links on the coWiki main page and (re-)introduce a "news"
section that is going to be frequently updated (if necessary of course).

So far I tried to keep out of the contents of the coWiki.org main-page
itself, as I thought you guys should put your own stamp on it. Unfortunately
it stayed broken for two months.

Should I (can I) change/rearange the contents the way I would like to see
it?

Hm, pardon? You know what I was speaking of? We used the "bad magic" phrase
for qualification of the error, so that we know what we were talking about.
It is not important whether it is a good name or not.

In this context, I would suggest (as already stated in the last email) to
install dev.cowiki.org (or test.cowiki.org, or latest.cowiki.org or, or)
with the CVS head and full activated logging (E_ALL) to play with. Maybe the
"bad magic" is gone? If not, we were sure that it was not a transaction
problem.

The imprortant thing here would be, that anyone of us takes a look from time
to time of these pages.
