The third thing is someone to moderate / monitor it, which is not something
we have.  Instead we have gone with adding the information on the website
as we get it, which also works.

Fred closed the old wiki [for good reasons] - see his note here:
http://lists.cohousing.org/pipermail/cohousing-l/msg33737.html

I'd love to get the content on http://l.cohousing.org/cohousingwiki.htm up
on the cohousing.org website, so that it can be found via nav and searched
vis the site search.
