Man, this list just needs more emails! Nom nom nom there goes your 0 
count inbox!

Some of us are pretty familiar with this whole wiki thing, some of us 
see it as something new. Here's some Rubin approved tips for using the 
wiki to make life not suck (i.e. be totally excellent) for other members...

* When you edit a page it's nice to also include a summery as to what 
you changed so others don't have to load up every single revision to 
figure out what the hell happened.
* Logging in to make an edit means that changes in the history tab are 
listed with you user name. If you are all for not playing that anonymous 
game, this is great thing!
* If you want others to be able to contact you, leave your email (in an 
obfuscated fashion) on your user page.
* If you want to "sign" something use the markup code: --~~~~

And most of all, if you're wondering how to do something with mediawiki, 
or general rules of thumb, you're more then welcome to poke me on IRC or 
send (only) me an email.

Thanks for reading and happy hacking.
