Looking at the empty forums and thinking of all the lost conversations, I remembered that I used to save interesting notes and conversations to text files. That was ages ago – two, three computers ago, maybe more – but I can't be the only one of us that does such things. Wouldn't it be great if we could all do a search for anything we might have saved so that we can rebuild our past?

Here's the exciting part – I've used this idea to convince Bryce to finally set us up with a wiki! It'll be a great way to organize the research and notes that we all used to complain about being scattered through too many threads. We'll easily be able to create hyperlinked relationships, and just imagine the search capabilities! Oh so much easier. And we don't have to use it purely to archive our past. Our present and future are just as important.

Every little bit helps, so please chip in once the wiki is up and working properly – and, if you have any advice on wiki software, please please please send it along to Bryce. He's going on and on about a custom application and security and that's just crazy talk.

Also, if you haven't re-registered (sadly, this is most of us), what are you waiting for?
