Technical reasons: If someone implements an entry from the list, it's not much work to commit the removal of the entry from the list. And since we don't want to have an endless list, the number of additions should be limited. Since a commit requires a commit log, the removal of a non-sense entry also comes with a reason (at least it should). At least the last part looks like a VCS is well suited for the job. Visual reasons: You can use the power of SQML to render structured data, while in a wiki you have to do everything on your own (with the typical cut&paste errors and inconsistencies). Do you have any strong reasons which make the wiki a better choice? Bye, Alexander. -- 0 and 1.
