When I think of Wikipedia, I remember Ronald Reagan's famous quote: "Trust, but Verify."
As regards the AC Wiki Project, there are a few things we need to keep in mind:
After a long thread like this, I'm still not clear on the best way to Synch. Sorry! I'm not stupid, so that must mean we still don't have a super-clear explanation of how to Synch.
A total newbie, coming to this thread, is going to read the first few entries and
give up. If we can pound this thread into a very concise explanation of the minimum, basic steps to Synchronize (like ONE paragraph, Bert), we can let this great, bulky, ungainly, uncertain thread slip into oblivion, and either:
* Start a new thread in Tips & Tricks entitled "How to Synchronize" (which will in turn fade away or get lost in a jumble of other threads which refer to Synchronization as the years go by). AND/OR
* Preserve the knowledge on the Wiki, and make it the treasure trove for solved problems (which will keep the relevant search terms free from clutter, for the future seeker of wisdom).
Paul and Bert, I agree it would be great to have a comprehensive Manual of All Knowledge, by Jon and Carlos. While we're waiting for that to happen (might be a long wait!), let's make the best of it.
So, let's just try to refine down the instructions for Synchronization a bit more (for me, if nobody else!), and then post it in the two places I suggested, and we'll just watch and see what happens next (Bert, I agree this is a great User Board).
