Wow, you think that maybe "Ugh" might not be all that flattering a  
comment? Perhaps there has been some progress afterall. Don't worry,  
nobody has really noticed it for a decade and, if the cyclical nature  
of this sort of thing holds, after all the fuss over the timeline it  
will return to its obscurity until someone else needs a fallow  
project to bash.

I believe my no was very clear. No wiki. I'm not a big fan of them to  
begin with and certainly not in this context.

I'll welcome updates.

I'll welcome fixed links and html.

I'll welcome new content.

If anything comes from that which, again, as my cynical assessment  
has proven time and again that such will not be forthcoming, I'll  
entertain further ideas.
