To give an example of the 'little idiosyncracies' Jimmy is talking about: In Wikipedia, one links to another title than the text of the link with [[link|title]]. In Sensei's Library (the only other Wiki of this kind that I frequent) it is [title|link]. Very similar, using the same ideas, and yet totally non-compliant with each other.
Well, I wonder then how one creates an external link on Sensei's Library. If we can get the energy up and get others to participate movement toward a standard seems worthwhile. Its been done with html and electric plugs.
