Andre,

First, I like the wiki a whole lot. My comment about slowness is not meant to say that the wiki is bad -- it just takes a different way of thinking from threaded discussion.

>Thus it seems that on issues of technical fact, concensus seems to happen very quiclky on a wiki. I can't think of a single pure-technical topic on the fox wiki (offhand) that has evolved as slowly as you describe.

I just looked in the recently updated list and found ConfigureDCOM, which started in October or November during our VFP Exam study group, was updated with a little back & forth discussion about WSH over 4 months ago, then another brief discussion just a few days ago. That's what I'm referring to.

Maybe other topics with more wide-spread interest will develop more quickly.

>Besides, reading 100 messages and summarizing it yourself, just for yourself, is laborious and unbelievably inefficient. Everybody has to do it. In something like a wiki, it's all there, and in the case of some future "SP vs RV" topic, a lurker could scan it all in a few seconds.

I agree, and that's why the wiki is ahead of a UT search when I need a concise summary of info. I think we pretty much agree, and both like the wiki.
