[OZAPRS] Re: Overhaul to national APRS website

[Damien Gardner Jnr]

Didn't someone bring up the idea of a wiki-based site some time ago,  
and it got poo-poo'ed en-masse due to the significant amount of crap  
that ends up on a wiki? :)  At best maybe some kind of CMS that lets  
the various state people login and update their sections more easily?
