If the community has no objection, and if the Joe Frank team is willing to continue to allow user-contributed synopsis information, that could indeed be the best solution. <a href="http://www.joefrank.com/wiki">www.joefrank.com/wiki</a> has a nice ring to it. Here, in my opinion, is what we would need from the JF team to achieve this result:<div>
<br></div><div>1) MediaWiki (or another installed and updated regularly at <a href="http://www.joefrank.com/wiki">www.joefrank.com/wiki</a>, along with its dependencies (PHP, mysql, etc).</div><div><br></div><div>2) Sysop privileges provided to a couple of members of the Joe Frank community (I nominate Beau and Erik Shirokoff, maybe Erik Cameron too) to customize and manage the wiki's content (and perform the initial import. These people would be "God" on the wiki section of the site, but would have no ability to modify other portions of Joe's site. Initially I suspect it will be necessary to provide Beau with phpmyadmin access, to import the old database.</div>
<div><br></div><div>3) Someone to moderate user access requests. The prior anti-spam policy is that to get an account you had to request one from me and then I created it by hand. I withdraw from this responsibility. Perhaps an e-mail verification process or a captcha could achieve the same result.</div>

I'm also familiar with Mediawiki--would love to help out

effort of extracting content.<br>

I can also host another Mediawiki instance if needed.<br>
