This might not be such a bad idea. Mainly for reasons of copyright. The FSEDU
wiki has an implicit copyright assignment of changes to the FSF with FDL
licensing. Since the WebScheme wiki stuff would probably grow into the official
documentation such an implicit copyright assignment would prevent a lot of
possible troubles. The current DotGNU wiki does not have such an implicit
copyright assignment and is thus not really good for the language development.

For mailing lists the same thing applies, especially since parts of mails can be
copied to the wiki.

I'll have to talk to nb sometime about how to solve this.

Great. Currently the whole monologue is at the WebSchemeMonologue page (which
doesn't look perfectly due to wiki interpretation that I haven't managed to turn
off yet, for a better view push edit and copy the source into a text document).
