Gah :-( I actually do this with http://emacro.sf.net/ (see resources to download Wiki) I see 2 disadvantages: 1) SourceForge's cvs server seems to be often down these days, disabling much of the EMacro site. Perhaps Wiki presents a lighter, more stable load? 2) All contributers must have CVS accounts (which may be a good thing) Not requiring an account or trivial account setup is convenient, and encourages participation.
