Well, the *real* thing would be a CVS repository with automatic
updating... But that would require everyone to know HTML and PHP. So
maybe some kind of Wiki, but password protected. But first one mayor
disadvantage of Wikis has to be eliminated: I want spaces in page
titles! ;=D

Good idea, BUT I *really* dislike all-caps! That's extremely impolite,
like yelling. Links are generally easily to determine in browsers, no
need to shout... But then I might just be an old usenet/internet
fossil... ;=D

No time, sorry. :-((( At least no the next month, I'm moving again...
