[Foundation-l] open wikis for chapters....?

[effe iets anders]

what will be the goal of the website? Answers should depend on that.
The question whether "open editing" is a good thing or not, is not an
absolute question, but depends on what you want to reach etc. First
get consensus on that, then find the model best suited for that.
