Yes, it is unstructured. It would not necessarily = replace

something like www.ruby-lang.org.

A great example of a good wiki is at c2

(http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?We= lcomeVisitors). =20 It has

thousands of pages ranging from the totally useless

to the very interesting and informative. If we can

start such a thing for Ruby it can potentially be of

great value.

>I'm sure I'm not really grasping the concept.=20 Enlighten

>me (offline if you wish).

I guess the only way I can explain it is to say it's like

the collective idea's of hundreds of people thrown

together into one big melting pot.
