Well, I admit that the original consultants directory did not cross my mind. 
In any case, it's pretty dead now, and again - anyone can post there, etc. 
(but not remove or modify an existing record). I found it easier to add 
something to the wiki.

It would be nice to have a more sophisticated and structured interface for 
consulting services in Israel, but that will require a lot of extra work. 
Plus, the iglu.org.il server is at the moment under-powered and needs a 
memory upgrade (which I or someone else will have to find some time to do) 
and until then installing something too large there is out of the question.

I monitor the RSS feed of the wiki for any kind of abuse. MediaWiki has very 
good history control features. Most of the abuse is just plain links-spam, 
and is easy to handle. If someone tries to sabotage the wiki in a malicious 
way, we will report him to the abuse desk of his ISP.

What's wrong with "Consulting"? Maybe it's my Engrew, but aren't we looking 
for Consultants or whatever for that? "IT" can mean a lot of things 
including "Information Technology".
