+has an old copy of the instructions, or any advice on where to start I'd be
+glad to hear it. Otherwise I'm just going to chronicle my journey on the
+page.--[[users/Chadius]]
+
+> Today I saw that someone is working to import wikipedia into git.
+> <http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/wiki/foundation/181163>
