Theos-Talk Archives (November 2010 Message tt00024)

It is nice to get a feedback. One of the unique features of Wiki is that it
is collaborative. Anyone can add and/or edit the material; and of course any
inaccurate statements will be questioned by others and many times gets
edited.

The important fact is that af last we have a Wiki about theosophical topics.
Let us all join in the effort and make it better everyday.
