   Now that's what I'm talking about. What I envisage is we run a quick   
   roll-call on the ng to determine who is "up for some hot wiki action"   
   (ahem) thereafter if any other people want to edit the wiki maybe   
   they'll have to introduce themselves to the ng first etc. I don't see   
   the need to make it totally open to the public as most of us here know   
   exponentially more about BR than the general public (although in SSR's   
   case he may well have forgotten what he knew...)

   Now that's what I'm talking about. I think a good first step would be to   
   take the existing FAQ and slamdunk it wholesale into a wiki page.   
   Thereafter we can start splitting it into sections, adding the new   
   content, remove the "What is the Internet?" sections, remove the errant   
   Deck-a-Rep nonsense...

   That would be Hanuman. The original and still the best. 8 out of 10 cats   
   prefer him.   
      
   But, dang, there's some good games out at the moment... Crysis Warhead,   
   Far Cry 2, Fallout 3, GTA IV, CoD 5... ok so none of these actually pay   
   the mortgage but, well, dang...
