Great suggestions. Feel free to make the changes. Do you have edit 
authority?

Folks - if you have an entry on the old wiki inventory, please

(1) move your metadata information from the old wiki inventory [A] to 
the search database [B] and
(3) delete the old entry on the wiki page. [A]
Also,
(4) please consider adding new new updated content to the searchable 
database if you have it.

Thar's a terrific offer Alex. Last year, my colleague wrote up SVN 
instruction material using Tortiosesvn for the group, but something went 
wrong with the screenshots and we haven't been able to get that 
documentation fixed. I can send you what we have if you'd like to work 
with that.

Building a system and process as a group that supports the creation of 
new educational content from old content is what we should as a group be 
striving for.  For instance, translations of tutorials  from one 
language to another, or from one software version to another. If we can 
get a SVN process documented and some people committed to use it, that 
would be a great step forward for us all.

If  you can get the process documented, I'll be happy to try it out. I 
have material I'd be happy to make available.

Cheers and thanks Alex!

Charlie
