Cool. :)

Ya. I wasn't thinking links so much (except in the case of moving something
like Frank's list(s), which are culled from Lugnet postings) as I was
thinking of other resources that would be good to have commonly sourced, for
example:
(quick & dirty FTX warning:)
http://www.lugnet.com/trains/org/~11/
Or if someone wrote something along the lines of Gary Istok's history of
windows, the article(s) and updates could be transcluded into an FTX page so
that it hasn't sunk into obscurity after a few months/years.
thanks,
James
