Al,
I am going to defend john's point of view on what he is saying about Steve and his wiki. Is the Wiki steve's? Yes. But do people on the wiki contribute to financing the site through donation ? Not sure. While the domain, server and software belong to steve, Isn't the wiki actually the property of the community that donated the material ?

Steve put the wiki out so that the VFP community has a forum for posting content that is useful by all members of the community. The topic that I know JVP is miffed about is the one about the last version of VFP. This is not a normal wiki article/topic but a kind of wiki threaded message. I contributed to this topic along with Mike Helland, Steve Black, Joe Kuhn, JVP and others.

Steve took it upon himself to edit our all of JVP's contribution to the post. Is it not up to the community to decide whether John's contribution was valuable or not ?

This situation reminds me of Orwell's 1984 where people are made non-persons, in this case JVP was made a non person.

Like it or not JVP is a valuable member of the community, and to some his opinions are valuable.

The purpose of sites like www.foxforum.com , fox.wikis.com , www.levelextreme.com, www.leafe.com and other are to provide a forum for different opinions. In the case of the wiki one person was silenced. How will you feel if you are next ?
