Yes.  Just like any other web site.  However, imp.org has been up for 
about six years and it resides on the same server.

I could setup a nightly offsite backup.  Anyone want to donate ftp space.

I won't push.  I may nudge from time to time as interesting discussions 
arise on this server.  Hopefully others will do the same, and the 
natural power of a wiki will come into play.  There are a few wiki 
fairies and gnomes who frequent these newsgroups.

collaborate on documentation easily.  It is just a tool for people to 
use.  Time will tell if this works or not for the community.
