Hello Jason,


Thank you!

On:
"However, without structure information is really difficult to find, so
as long as you or others are willing to organise pages as they are
entered, then I think this is a good compromise."

This is the main reason I did what I did and do what I do. I am willing
to structure and I do not intend to urge others to use structure, but
since it is a wiki, I feel free to do what I want with the best
intentions to make information easy to reach for others.

Kind regards,

Milo
