Re: wiki on sf

[Etienne Grossmann]

  Hello,

thanks to our sysadmin Yoda, the wiki is on :

  http://omni.isr.ist.utl.pt/~etienne/cgi-bin-etienne/wiki.pl

<not sure of what I'm saying>

Iigic, to pretend to be wiki.octave.org, is it the octave.org domain
owners (that's the term?) who should point wiki.octave.org to
omni.isr.ist.utl.pt/~etienne/cgi-bin-etienne?

</not sure of what I'm saying>

  Cheers,

  Etienne
