[pmwiki-users] Simplifying my PmWiki involvement

[DaveG]

I can appreciate you needing to free up some time; I noticed the other 
day your name was very prevalent right across the wiki -- you must have 
spent a lot of time learning!

I'd be happy to maintain a few of the front-end ones, and some of the 
simpler back-ends -- if it's okay I'll add my name this evening (a few 
hours):
 > # ShowHide
 > # PopupWindow
 > # NewPageBoxPlus
 > # FAQToggleList
 > # CSSPopups
 > # CSSInWikiPages
 > # FontSizer
 > # FAQToggleList

Something I think this highlights is a reluctance for people to change 
other peoples work on a wiki. I've noticed this on wiki's I run as well. 
It seems particularly noticeable when someone has invested a lot of time 
on a topic/page. However, a move like this, where the author explicitly 
requests help (either on the page itself, or on the list) might be a 
start to generate a sub-community around a cookbook?
