Hi Michael,

Of course, that would be up to Sacha... all I have offered is to keep an
eye on the list and shepherd patches into a separate location.  You 
will certainly be able to do at least as good a job of that as I can, 
and any
additional ideas you can implement are a further bonus :-)

Cheers,
        Gary.

It would be great if Muse and emacs-wiki had a common input syntax (or 
at least a variable to turn on Muse file parsing in emacs-wiki) so that 
it is easy for content providers to move between the two publishing 
formats.

Not sure I understand...

Excellent idea!  I have been meaning to do that myself for a long time 
:-)

You can't have too much documentation.  Shouldn't ours be a wiki though?

Cheers,
        Gary.
