Reply #30: "Excellent", sneared Mr Burns, contemplating world domination

I made a suggestion in response to the Madsen #4 article that we need to build a version of the article with linked references to supporting documents. A wiki will be an excellent vehicle for this collaborative effort.

But as skids says (I'm not stalking you, honest) there are an order of magnitude more troubles awaiting administrators of a wiki as compared to a forum system. The cut-off of Dec 7 for access is, I expect, a temporary measure, to avoid the recent flood of renoobs. Fine, but some system will have to replace that. I suggested slashdot.org as an example of a forum system with a self-organizing rating system that let's quality messages bubble to the surface, but I think the idea of a ratings system is even more important in a wiki with such open participation.

I'll have to check out this wiki and make my recommendations for changes.
