I mentioned it a few weeks back, not realizing at the time it'd been
closed off. I'm partial to using the KLI wiki instead, but it doesn't
seem to be well laid out and maintained (I asked here if Alan was still
maintainer, but got not response; I'd like to at least see a link to the
table of contents off the main Wiki page, because right now, you're almost
forced to search for things, rather than being able to "cruise")...

The only discussion about using any wiki for anything was when I suggested
we set up a page on the KLI wiki for "Linguistic Terms", which sparked the
"what do you call a conjunction?" which then sparked the current debate
about whether or not "purpose noun phrases" are more or less suitable for
defining concepts than "relative clauses" (/-meH/ vs. /-bogh/ -- the
showdown of the year!)
That's about it.
