Well, the wiki is actually quite easy to use. At the bottom of
every page, there's an "edit this page" button. When you click
that, the text of the page shows up in a window, and you can
edit it as you like, then preview it and save it back to the
wiki when it is what you want. So, it is really very easy for
anyone who can access the page to make changes. Some of the
more complicated stuff like putting tables and formatted
pictures with text is just a little harder, but you can always
use the edit command to bring up the source of a page that
already does what you want and see how that person coded it.
I guess the only thing to be worked out is what sort of system
we want to host the wiki, and who will pay for it if that is needed.

Even if I don't host it (and it might be preferable to have a
better network connection than mine) I will certainly want to
bring over everything on Tim's pages and update as necessary.
Right now Tim has made his site secure, so I have to send every
little change to him to put on the system.
