    I dunno -- when you ssh to shell.sourceforge.net, your path contains "cboardwiki". If this folder was moved or renamed to "cpwiki", it might break any Wiki installation that exists.

    At any rate, in about 45 minutes I'm going to sign off, and I probably won't be online until Monday. I'll leave you guys to it.

    *walks back into the room*

    Hm. After thinking about this project on the way home from work, I've come to the conclusion that at this point it is quite similar to a candy bar.

    *coughs a bit*

    Upon arriving at the check-out counter at a grocery store, you're generally presented with a large matrix of various forms of delicattesens. You peruse them a bit, and suddenly you realize that you really are hungry for a Snickers, and so you end up buying one. Not for any good reason, really just because of convenience (it was right there!). Enter the impulse purchase.

    *whooshes hands and brings us back to the present*

    Our candy bar here really can't just be an impulse purchase if we want it to last. With that explained, I think that it is necessary to take a step back from the checkout line for the time being and recheck our grocery list.

    First off. Who are we targetting this site for? Is it going to aim at the void-mainers or the more confuzzled variety?

    I firmly believe that a void-mainers-style Wiki has no zest, gusto, or if I may imply a new meaning for an already amazing word, juice. If we want to attract people who will actually want to write for this, we need to have an aire de excellence about the site.

    Second off. Once we determine what is necessary we need to determine how the design for the site is going to progress. Can any of you draw, paint, imagine? I'll assume most fit at least one of those actions, in which case we need to iron out an outline of the design for the site. Primarily a hierarchy of tutorials needs to be determined and a general feel for the layout.

    *needs to run off and eat, is starving*
