> Any ideas on how we could use a wiki for SPUGly purposes?

+1 on using it as institutional memory for things like FAQs.  That way
newbie questions can be re-answered by an HTTP link to an existing page.

The process might be to discuss once on the mailing list until an answer (or
multiple answers) crystallizes and then move it (them) and subsequent
discussion to the wiki, freeing up the mailing list for news.  An email
portal (address) to the wiki might make this easier, but it's not too hard
without.

-1 on things like announcements and news of various sorts.  As noted
elsewhere, the WIKI doesn't alert users to changes.  Yes, they're available
on the 'recent changes' page.  But the 'newspaper delivered to your door'
analogy is good, if it's news it should be on the list.
