those of you who are aware of the many pitfalls of trying
to add and maintain technical information in wikipedia may
wish to consider creating mirror copies (which you can do
under gfdl) at an alternate wiki environment like centiare:

http://www.centiare.com/

this site uses the same mediawiki software as wikipedia but
implements the more advanced semantic tagging features that
wikipedia does not.

it also operates on a dual protocol that permits collaborative
editing in the "main space" while maintaining individual author
control in the "directory space".
