Hi folks,

Here's another FOSsil Bank update.
Big News – Free & Open Works

The big news is that I'm slowly working on creating *Free & Open Works*,
the heir to the FOSsil Bank. Free & Open Works (FAOW) uses Semantic
MediaWiki, which allows entries to be submitted by filling in a form,
instead of expecting people to use a complicated links-and-tagging system
like Wikidot requires. It also has nice touches like being entirely free
and open source, allowing redirects, and having a host which is ad-free.

FAOW is limping along, and won't be ready to go before January, at least.
But please do check it out here: http://faow.referata.com/. I'm keen to
know what you think of it, especially if you're familiar with MediaWiki and
Semantic MediaWiki and might be able to give me a hand.

Because of the upcoming transition to FAOW, new FOSsil Bank entries just
have barebones details.
