little website: great suggestion. I'm finding freemind a great tool for getting my head around new material, but I also don't particularly want to hog all the glory (or do all the work :) ). The problem as you point out is that having multiple people editing a single source file doesn't work very well. All that said, it's always worthwhile putting something tentative in front of other eyes to see if it's just me or if something would be generally useful, and the "little website" idea sure fits the bill. Unfortunately, the next two weeks are booked pretty solid so I probably won't be able to put much effort into it for the near term.
