I've already started a wiki at http://macnash.telfer.uottawa.ca/rfi-EE01518733 If you want a login, please contact me off-list. I need to make sure anyone who has access is "real". uOttawa won't allow commercial messages, but I have no problems with folk identifying their affiliations, in fact, I rather insist on it to maintain transparency and "open source" flavour.
