OK, that's much clearer - thank you :) To re-iterate: 1) I need to contact Ian Jacobs about the idea and get feedback from him. 2) I need to do the same as 1 with Fantasai. 3) I need to make a stand-alone page and host it somewhere on my own server, the page being based on whatever templates or requirements I discover via 1 and 2. 4) The page is presented on the list and people decide whether it's OK or not.

No, that now makes sense but I didn't understand it as you meant it the first time. The term straw-man is usually understood as derogatory - you make a straw-man in order to burn it; and using a wiki to do a page design make no sense to me from a technical standpoint. It's now clearer to me what you were meaning to say. > If that is the case, I guess you can keep lobbying but you are not > going anywhere. Do you feel like your questions are anwsered?

I'm not sure whether or not I'm reading into your messages - it's confusing because you're being helpful and spending time on this (which I'm grateful for), but you're also coming off as antagonistic in some respects - perhaps my ignorance has come off as antagonistic to you too, in which case I apologise, it was not my intent - but yes, I now understand what you have been saying, and the additional information which is more clearly written now makes sense to me. Thank you :)
