We do have a decent sever, but web space costs money. The FRPGC has
MySQL and PHP available. I will be looking into installing a wiki and
message board as soon as I get the time.

If there's something you don't like about FRINGE please come along, sign
up to the mailing list and we can fix it. I'll probably be publishing
FRINGE in the wiki as well.

My idea would be to develop the world through a Wiki. It would then be
simplicity to create a wiki sub-system that would allow users to create
dynamic rules variant pages. So, for example, you create a 'soft'
description of an NPC for your world in the wiki, without any game
stats. You would then create a linking page to the NPC stats in, say,
FRINGE. Someone else could then come along and create a variant stats
in, say, YAGS.
