I would prefer proper HTML, not wiki-wiki. I know what I am doing with
HTML, and it is an accepted standard. I definitely don't like the idea that
anyone can edit a wiki-wiki page. Major malicious changes would be spotted
easily, but minor ones would be hard to find. Also, doesn't wiki-wiki
depend on a server? Doesn't this means that the cOMpendium could not be run
from a CD-ROM?
A central contents page with links to other Web sites containing material
from contributors appeals to me. I can probably host a few sections.
