Call it what you will.

We already can't do that. We can't move documentation from the manual into the code, and vice versa, because of the GPL vs. GFDL issue. It is that kind of thing that completely takes away any motivation I might otherwise have to contribute to the manual. And again, if you're going to require reviewing and copyright assignment for wiki contributions, we might as well not have a wiki at all. Gr. Steven
