Exactly. Though I think we could have more success if we had a dumb'd down 
version of the wiki with very few options. Maybe along the line Minimum-1, 
A-Bit-More-2 and A-Little-Bit -More-3. The wiki could do with a MySQL web 
type layout. I'm thinking of the many examples part. But I sure don't have 
the time to do it. But I would be tempted.
