Well, I started to work on the site, when I realized the work would be for nothing if we realized the dream of getting a wiki up. Well, some clever googling allowed me to wade through the thousands upon thousands of Wiki opinions and narrow it down to a few [semi-] objective opinions. As I [kind of] understand it, MediaWiki is the sleekest, most intuitive, and stablest system out there, but it is also notorious for being difficult to set up (being partly based on MySQL). As this description was coined by a person very literate in the language of web servers, I decided to avoid MediaWiki completely. I redirected my search to one easier to set up, and I came across UseMod. Turns out it's pretty easy, as long as you
know what the f*** you're doing! 
Seriously, I came
this close to figuring it all out. But even as easy as it is, it still says it requires Apache, Perl, and various methods of configuration and setup.
I think I have to admit to myself that I'm not up to this. I've never done anything like this before. I had some basic html and xml self-tutoring two years ago, and that's the only glance under the internet's hood I've ever had. I'm still a little befuddled even working with pages as simple as the ones on the ftp; however, those are simple enough for even me to at least work with. I think if we are going to get a wiki running, I need some outside help. I've heard some here mention they have experience with web programming; even if you don't know much about wiki's or servers, I would really appreciate any help you could offer. If you're interested, I'll open up an account for you on the main domain and we can try to sort this thing out. Our goal should be MediaWiki, but if noone has the know-how, anything will be sufficient.
In the meantime, I'll be tinkering with the sites you've all worked so hard on and try to get them up and working. I have an English framework on my system with relative urls already in place, so I think what I'll do is ditch the "DE" extensions I've seen in some places and make them all the same as on the English page. This is keeping with my theme of consistency, and it would be very error-prone if I went through and manually edited each link. Anyway, I'll stop babbling now and actually do some work here.
