The Wiki - A Suggestion

[saipanda]

Many thanks to Colin for his suggestion. Sounds like a good idea to me. No problem to 
sort it out as an additional part of the artist pages on the Wiki if people would like to do 
this.

In line with Steve's suggestion, will put up a forum thread on the Wiki a bit later today for 
anyone that's interested.

Cheers,

Steve W

PS Just to let people know, following discussions the other day, have changed references 
to this group on the Wiki to "Peel Mailing List." There's quite a few so it's an ongoing 
process. If you come across one, please open up the editing window for that section or 
page and make the change.
