Subject:Re: Tell Everyone About Your Vanagon Links - Tagging

I was reading awhile back about 'wikis'... and from what the article
detailed it seemed like it might be a very useful tool for this list. Having
said that, I've never actually 'used' one myself, other than reading the
occasional link to Wikipedia.
Anybody think it'd be viable, or not? Anybody know the nuts 'n bolts of how
to run one?

Cya,
Robert
