A home on which to develop? or a home on which to publish? With a distributed revision control system, any site is, at least formally, the equal of any other -- no specific home is needed. With a wiki, the wiki site *is* home, with all the attendant uncertainty of what to do if the wiki goes defunct. We *do* need a site to point readers to, though, whether a wiki or some other. -- hendrik > > What do people think? > > Doug. > > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
