Jared,
Does it really matter that they are not a content wiki? Seems great that
we have an offer for some place out of the box, especially if the wiki 1)
wants the involvement, and 2) can see value in a tool that you may not
considered from the PoV of a chapter's use.
I would like to congratulate on one of the chapters for putting-up their
(collective) hand to be involved in having that switch flicked.
Regards, Billinghurst
