[p2p-research] wiki controversy ..

[Michel Bauwens]

Thanks Sam,

let me take the occasion to ask for assistance concerning some priorities
from my vantage point ...

- when Nathan was helping us, he kindly reformatted some popular sections
(see http://p2pfoundation.net/Product_Hacking for an example) from one to
two columns,

while this may seem a detail, it's very instrumental in making rich sections
more viewable ..

so a priority project for me would be to redo say the most important dozen
sections, in a similar way,

anybody can help,

nathan has the code inserted, but I'm not skilled enough to extract it, and
also, it requires some careful callibrating of left-right balances,

Michel
