I've set up a wiki for ACLUG webdev discussion. The idea here is to
attempt to build a consolidated view of the current state of the
discussion. This is not a replacement for the webdev list -- you
should continue to push ideas and discussion on webdev, then update
the wiki accordingly.

The wiki is at:

  http://www.tomhull.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl

If you're not familiar with wikis, the key idea is that each web
page has a link near the bottom which says "Edit text of this page";
click on that, and the web page source comes up in an HTML textarea
form; edit the form, preview your edits, and save your changes.
Anyone can edit any page. Diffs are stored, but this system does
depend on good will and conscientiousness behavior. I strongly
recommend that you go into Preferences and set up a user name
rather than contribute anonymously. (I haven't found a config
variable to force this.)

All I've done so far is to set up the tool (UseModWiki), snarf up
some help documentation, and outline a HomePage. I.e., no real
content yet.
