I think that those of us that care about the wiki can suggest/ask
permission from posters/solicit/etc for content go to the wiki as it
comes up. We need to strike a balance between getting everything we
can from the wisdom/cached or saved articles of this group/etc and
pissing this group off to the point where the wiki becomes a banned
discussion topic :).
To that end, I have created a google group for those interested in
discussing the technical details:
http://groups.google.com/group/vanagonwiki
I have sent invitations out to a couple of you, please feel free to
delete them if you're not interested. Anyone can join the email list
by going to that link.
If anyone has content from the wiki saved that they would like to see
restored to it, you can mail to the list without joining (for
now--I'm sure we'll eventually be found by bots and have to restrict
access to humans with a captcha or something). The email address is
on the website.
