Would it be possible to get a version of > FOLDOC under GNU FDL? Your question has thrown me into a quandary. I had not seen Wikipedia before. It is so close in spirit and function to the new FOLDOC software I am working on that I am wondering whether I should continue with FOLDOC at all or whether I shouldn't just redirect all effort to Wikipedia. Can you think of any reason to keep it seperate? In the short term, I am more than happy for you to add FOLDOC's content to Wikipedia and hereby release it under GNU FDL. -- Denis Howe <dbh at obscured5.doc.ic.ac.uk> Free On-Line Dictionary of Computing http://www.foldoc.org/
