[LON-CAPA-users] RE: Wiki...

[Gerd Kortemeyer]

Hi,

Actually, it would be great if people could help us in writing and  
updating the real documentation. Like the rest of LON-CAPA, it is open- 
source and also part of our CVS. Let me know if you would be willing  
to help, and I'll get you all set up :-)
