Sounds just as viable. Shame to waste time rewriting what's been covered
though.

I'd suggest writing a list of maybe 5 or 6 subjects that are known =

experience) to keep coming up. Then write information solely about =

I think the archive is definitely _not_ the best place to get the =

material. It has an extremely low signal-to-noise ratio. In other =
words,
only a tiny proportion of it is actually useful. Why base a wiki on a
mountain of rubbish? The old clich=E9 applies: garbage in, garbage out.

However, I think it _would_ be productive to search the archives for
hyperlinks (such as to http://www.mvps.org/word) and make sure that =
most of
those _were_ included in the wiki.=20
