[Foundation-l] A general wiki list?

[Milos Rancic]

The list is finally up. All interested in general discussions about
wikis may join via http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/wikiworld

I'll start with announcing list on other places as soon as possible.

Also, anyone interested in the initial managing the project may contact me.
