Thanks, Steve. But how do we leave the SF pages? As now, but with links 
to both Manuals? 

We do want some SF content because of the association of Audacity with 
Nyquist. But going forward I don't think we want to be maintaining the 
same content in both Wiki and SF. 

To me, much of the content on SF would go here:   
http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Nyquist_Plug-ins_Reference

Was that your idea?

I think it's up to the author. On the above page, Roger just adds a 
space to give Wiki code formatting. That's OK now (with previous
MediaWiki you couldn't see the dotted border) except there are no line 
breaks if the code is long. For line breaks or a possibly nicer display 
you can use either:

{{code|}} 
 

or 

{{codelist|}}

Or just use <pre></pre>.
