Yaa, it doesn't matter to me either way, honestly, but a wiki might be
a nice place since anyone can then edit it at their whim instead of
having folks that had to be dedicated to it.

The wiki on the sodbeans site is powered by Trac. I haven't used it
much with JAWS, but I use it with voice over all the time. As always,
there are some annoying spots, but we haven't gotten many complaints
about it.

Just a thought though, no big deal either way,

Stefik
