Documentation - Wiki

[Richmond Mathewson]

Sending your message and my reply to the Use-List as,
while not wanting to dampen enthusiasm, wanting to
make sure that I am not paddling a lone canoe up a
dead-end creek.

Dear David,
  I really do not see myself in a particularly
messianic role - to be honest with you, I started a
new page on the Wikipedia and got "plonked" in about
30 minutes flat - so transferred what I had done to
the present "thing" with no research into alternative
Wikis whatsoever.

  You are more than welcome to copy all that is useful
from the current "thing" - pretty nascent, so nothing
particularly memorable - and use it as a seed for a
more 'sensible' Wiki, that, as you say, connects with
the IDE.

sincerely, Richmond Mathewson
