I still think the con is valid--for instance I think wikipedia is great but certainly have a lower expectation of trust when I read stuff there. I think it would take a while to notice fishy entries in a contributors wiki too. I like the idea of giving people edit access to a wiki when they become contributors, and think this should be periodically (and perhaps manually) copied over to a static page periodically. - Robert --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://sage.scipy.org/sage/ and http://modular.math.washington.edu/sage/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
