John,

I don't know much about TikiWiki, but I suppose any wiki program will work just fine. The one I wanted to use is Media Wiki

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki

It is PHP/MySQL based, and is the same one used by Wikipedia. I have been told that it is the most full-featured wiki program out there, although somewhat more complex to use than some. My son who is a programmer set up a media wiki about a year ago, and he indicates that it took him about 2 hours of his time to configure it. > >> What we need now is a logo for the gopherspace wiki.

I just remembered that a friend of mine designed a gopher logo for me several years ago that was never used for anything. Please see how you like this rendition of the varmint:

http://www.sonic.net/~tcopley/gopher.jpg

I am willing to donate it to the cause. BTW the artists name is Adam Capell <adam@capell.com>.

okay, maybe I'd better register gopherpedia.org up before someone else grabs this awesome handle. ;-)
