Well I would have thought so, but as you seem to be using it as an argument for managing and publishing information on a wiki I'm really not sure.

So when was the last time you asked for an update?

And even if it did become a chore, we would move it into the database (trivial for us), not use a wiki. That way we could keep the confidential info confined to the admin interface.

That's funny. I almost laughed.

Uhmm I never suggested using the wiki for sponsor management. My sponsor
management page suggestion was in correlation to your remark that I
could just request stuff from -www that I needed.

Perhaps you should follow your own thread.

Well clearly we're talking at cross purposes then, 'cos as I understand
it the original argument was about not using a wiki for user facing
stuff, to which you argued it saved having to figure out the
technicalities of how to add stuff to the main website, and gave sponsor
management as an example.
