Re: Wiki madness

Agreed.  Sometimes you have to bite the bullet, make a decision and go with 
it.  Also, there was a negative comment regarding the wiki being 
representative of OSAF's future coding quality.  This type of rhetoric is 
unnecessary, and hopefully we'll all be able to focus on the task at hand 
(designing great features into Chandler).  I'm hoping we can avoid getting 
into unnecessary online debates and flame-wars, that would really lower the 
signal-to-noise of this listsev.   There's some great conversations going on 
right now and I'd like to see that continue.
