Who reads this list, and knows how to use a Wiki, yes. :-)

Steve (et al), all you have to do is edit the WIKI page. There's a
link at the bottom of the page. Once you get into edit mode, just
follow the pattern of what the other editors have done. You can also
add a WIKI page for yourself, that tells about your interests and lists
your contact info, or other relevant data. Adding pages in WIKI might
seem confusing, but it's really very easy. Basically all you do is
concatenate several words while you're editing an existing WIKI page,
using camel case. WIKI sees this as your intent to make a new page.
For instance:
Here's some existing text in a WIKI page, and HeresAPageIWantToAdd and
so forth...
tells WIKI that you want to add a page called HeresAPageIWantToAdd.
When you use that convention in any WIKI page, WIKI will add a question
mark:
HeresAPageIWantToAdd?
to the end of your camel case string in the page after you've finalized
your edit. If you click the question mark at the end of your camel
case string on the newly edited page, WIKI will create a new page by
that name (called "HeresAPageIWantToAdd", in this case). You can then
edit that page just as you would any other WIKI page, by clicking the
Edit link at the bottom of the page.
I hope this helps those of you who have not used WIKI in the past, but
still want to add your info to the list and meet other developers in
this forum. I've already met a couple of guys in my area as a result
of this thread, and am meeting with one of them soon so we can help
each other learn more about Cocoa. Before Keith set this WIKI list up,
I had been looking for other Cocoa developers in my area for over a
year, with no success. Thanks again, Keith!!
The list is currently up to 10 countries, with around 75 Cocoa
developers listed. If they can all figure out the basics of WIKI, so
can you! :)
If you try what I have outlined above and can't get it to work, reply
to this message back-channel and I'll give you a hand with it. Be sure
you keep the subject line the same if you send me a back-channel
message; otherwise, your message might get lost in the list of all of
the regular cocoa-dev messages that come from the list.
Thanks.
