Hi Yann,

Glad you took my invitation up :)

1 - great - thanks, if you want to migrate them yourself then come see 
us in IRC - channel is in all my posts

2 - yes it is still valid, that page is one we appropriated - rather 
than create a new one and leave one superfluous.

3 - I'd always say NO - they are all How To's ;)

4 - not as such - for the moment we are migrating threads - we use a 
tool to do so. these wiki's all folloow the original 'format or build' 
of the orginal thread.

When we get to starting wiki's from scratch then we will think about 
those then. There are 'some' templates' availabel, but they are failry 
sparse and basic.

5 - in the original tutes forum, you will see if you look there many 
threads that I and other staff have closed and then linked to new 
discussion threads.

6 - not as yet, see 4, something worth thinking of for the future though 
wothout doubt.

7 - staff, luckily of the team - 2 (me and wildmanne) are both staff.

regards

Kev
