Re: MIDRANGE-L Digest, Vol 7, Issue 385

Buck, Eric, Alan,

I'm afraid that, regarding Wikis, I'm not really even a
beginner :-)

When I first saw the wikis announced in the forum I just
browsed it a little, went straight to one of my favorite
items (SQL - was just writing a "tips" document for some
coworkers) and found a paragraph I disagreed upon.

The main problem I find in (any) wikis is TIME. The fact I
am not a native english speaker does not help very much
either, as I have to be very careful with what I write.

IF I find the time, I'll try to dig deeper in the wiki
(both, reading and writing it).

Best Regards,

Luis Rodriguez

Do you think it would be better to edit the paragraph I
think is in error and let the rest of the community

re-edit

it if neccesary?

In the case of your SQL edits, I'd definitely put them in
the main page.

I am not a wiki guru, just a beginner. I try to use the
talk pages as a
place to collaborate with other people interested in the
page. I
haven't had much in the way of response... Maybe nobody
is interested in
the same pages I am.
