general disclaimer. It says that the information in the wiki may not be

<pre wrap="">Jan -
When you set up the Wiki, can you make sure that it's clear to contributors
that their contributions may be used freely by third parties without
permission? I guess to protect yourself you may also wish to state that you
accept material on the condition that there aren't already restrictions on
its use, and that the responsibility for ensuring this is so lies with the
third party.
There ought to be a form of words for this kind of thing - anyone have any
useful pointers from other Wikis they use?

<pre wrap="">Sounds like a wonderful idea to me.
If Alkacon is interested, they could take over the hosting later (if
that is ok with you)

Sure they could.
I will wait some days for other feedback and if it is all positive I will
register the domain and install mediawiki.
