That is a very good point. In my experience the Wikipedia community can
be excessively eager to remove articles which are accurate and useful,
but don't conform to their criteria for encyclopedia content. They are
quite pedantic.


Yes, this wiki could host also descriptions of members' projects, with
uploaded pictures, etc. One page per project. I see nothing wrong with that.


Well then I'm definately in for at least a nightly backup repository if
not a mirror. Iggy, I can set you up a username and password so you can
push, or I can fetch from you if you give me a username/passwd. Probaby
easier if you push after you do the archive, less potential for race
conditions that way.


You tell me what to do and I will do it, push or pull is fine. I
usually create files with a .tmp extension, and rename them to give
them the ultimate filename, after they are fully created. No race
conditions.
