[geeklog-users] The Geeklog Wiki needs YOUR help!

[Richard Pitt]

Hi Dirk

I've been using Geeklog for a number of years now - would love to put
some of the "real world" experience into the WIKI. Largest install is
www.hancockwildlifechannel.org - just moved to glFusion but still have
other sites on Geeklog and am moving another large one shortly (over
3000 pages)

Thanks
