This is said not to pooh-pooh the wiki suggestion, but rather to
point out that there is a UK vanagon enthusiast's wiki here;
http://wiki.club8090.co.uk/index.php/Main_Page

and also that Ron's site, with the easily recalled URL of
www.vanagon.com, is a good place for new owners to look for basic info.

and John Meek's (am I right that its his?) site http://
www.vanagonauts.com/ has collected some of this mailing list's
"wisdom" into a searchable site.


Ok I will pooh-pooh the wiki idea a little.... it only works if
people do contribute (mea culpa on a submission), otherwise it stalls
and languishes.

I'd like to suggest that one of the first entries in a new wiki would
be a list of vanagon links. Pretty well all you need is out there in
vacuumland, its just finding it that is the pain.

BTW, Guido's question yesterday about the silver socket is the perfect
reason why a wiki would be nice to have again: a place to put
frequently-asked questions. AND, anyone can write or edit an article,
it's an open project.
