Subject:Re: My first post to VanagonWiki

I recently finished editing my contribution to the "Swaps" section. I
hope others will edit or add to it. At the very least, it should shed
some light on the topic leading newbies to research other sources.
(though I have yet to put links to outside pages in article)

I am too am not a writer/mechanic, though I have given lots of thought
to the topic, and have done some reading in that regard. (And believe
it or not, I actually put a lot of time into writing the article!)

In theory, a Wiki can be a useful set of web pages. As Tom has pointed
out, other people may edit/contribute. Of course it takes people to
read the pages for this to happen. I can't help but think that this
may take some time. Hopefully not too long though.

Neil.
