[aprssig] APRS Wiki

[Brian Riley]

The strength of Wiki lies in the fact that in general 'good' people'  
outnumber  'bad' people and Wiki users and practioners tend care a  
lot and to pay quite close attention. I read something somewhere that  
wiki-vandalism has a lifespan on the order of minutes before it gets  
spotted and cleaned up.
