hey yono-
i wikied "wiki":
"Wiki" (/wiːkiː/) is a Hawaiian word for "fast".
so, as fast as i could, started:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Rhyneheimer/lasertank_subpage
so far i have only cut and pasted (plagiarized!) the content from The
LaserTank Web Site, but this is in my own user space for
experimentation etc. and the details like references and permissions
can be hashed out later.
there's lots to learn (it's sort of like html), but when i get an
article-sized page done, i'll transfer it to a real article that
people can wiki and edit. only registerd users can make changes, but
bogus email addresses are easy to come by. maybe some of you like
squirrel ducky and yono might register at wiki and play around a bit
in anticipation of editing the final article, and form your own
ideas. i'll FYI y'all ASAP.
actually, even in my own userspace, editing/vandalizing can be done
if you want to surprise me with an edit! reversion to previous
versions is possible.
