Hi Barry,

I had a Wiki running on the server before.  Yep, I could install Wiki  
software again, *if* there are people who want to use it.  We had  
*one* user previously.

Be aware that I already have a couple server projects in the  
pipeline, so unless somebody really beats the door down, it won't  
happen soon.  It will also take some of Harry's time, especially if  
we are limiting this to CORSA members only (a reasonable idea,  
IMHO).  Further complicating this install is my rather hectic work  
assignment.  Then there's the wagon in the carport patiently waiting  
for brakes, and the less patient teenager who wants it done (and is,  
BTW, actually putting time into the project).

If somebody wants to get behind this and drive it, let me know.
