I don't think we can mine the ActiveStateCookbook to seed the wiki.
- I will put all of my code snippets here.
Advantages of wiki over the ActiveStateCookbook:
wiki affords linking between pages
- we can correct each others' mistakes, without working through an editor
- we can organize each others' contributions
I believe our situation is this:
Many people want to put snippets on the ActiveStateCookbook.
- Many people want to put snippets on this wiki.
