{{{#!wiki tip
Admins: it is recommended that you watch the changes [[http://wiki.hcoop.net/RecentChanges?action=rss_rc&diffs=1&ddiffs=1|RSS feed]] to keep informed of what everyone is up to. Then, please document all of your work on here somewhere - that way we will not only have a record, but everyone gets notified about what is going on. Alternatively, you can create a wiki account and subscribe to the page regex `.*` (all pages).
