Actually, what I meant, was: I'm requesting that http://linuxcnc.org/ point to what is now at http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/ once I'm done moving everything over to the wiki. Unfortunately, the wiki appears to have no "attach file" function. What's up with that? I've been using PukiWiki for some time on my machine-construction wiki and am quite happy with it. I can attach .pdf's or any other file type to a particular wiki page, and i can do inline images. Also I really like the two menu-bar style template that it uses. Makes it much easier to maintain and navigate. Look at http://www1.atwiki.com/gingery_machines/ to see what the heck i'm talking about. Usually, I WOULD just do it, but I don't want to be chastised for trying to help out (cough rumley cough) or step on anyone's toes. Also before doing a big project it's a good idea to make it known for a little while so people can voice their concerns, warn you of potential pitfalls, etc. -ben On Sat, 28 May 2005, Kenneth Lerman wrote: > Date: Sat, 28 May 2005 15:53:32 -0400 > From: Kenneth Lerman <Ken...@se...> > Reply-To: emc...@li... > To: emc...@li... > Subject: RE: [Emc-developers] permission to wikify linuxcnc.org > > Hey Ben, if you are really an anarchist, you would know that you don't need > permission to put something on the Wiki.
