LTwiki.org <> is now fixed on the front page with

roll back their destructive work.
Hello Lewis,
Some of the spammers were ferocious in their persistence, weren't
they? They seemed to have had a perplexing, particular interest
in the section on transformers. Never understood that. Perhaps
they thought that name would attract a lot of visitors from non-
techies searching for the fictitious type of "Transformer" (as
in the films).
Anyway, we have never really net-formally met. I believe I've
seen one of your email addresses over at the LTwiki, so I will
have to send you a message. By the way, I didn't have any trouble
signing up - just took a very small amount of poking around to
find the right page.
I found it much more difficult to find the specialized wiki
language help pages (most html also works at the wiki, by the
way). Perhaps I will add a direct link to the wiki help as well.
I don't think anyone needs to be a wiki language expert to start
contributing to the LTwiki as an author may just describe what the
appearance of their contribution should be and somebody else will
probably add the wiki polish if the underlying piece is compelling.
The most important thing is to write well, concise and clear.
There is a built-in editing tool set for the most common commands
(such as basic text formatting and the creation of hyperlinks),
so the mechanics of contributing soon become easy enough.
Perhaps we could set up a Help file replacement (many bits are
already in place). Many sections would likely mimic LTspice's
Help system and at least start out by heavily borrowing directly
on the existing Help, so I wonder if permission from LTC would be
required? If so, I think you be a more diplomatic choice than me
to ask Mike.
