I have learn't something new yesterday that we need not to undermine ourselves and not to fear what we don't know. It is good to explore, recently i was so worried about starting up a Wiki thought it was a difficult thing. But the i realised that what we need to do is to search around from wikis in libraries that will give you an idea on how to go about. I have visited a Wiki on public library.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_library
