Okay, the wiki is up:

http://www.wikisho.com/

It's a new domain name, and it doesn't look like DNS has *totally* 
propagated yet, so if you don't see anything there, it's mirrored here:

http://www.jonheese.com/wiki/

As you can see (I hope), I've got the basic shell from the SHOTimes FAQ 
with small modifications.  All of the red links are articles that need 
to be created.  Everyone should feel free to create/edit these articles 
as they see fit, as well as create new articles, links, etc. from the 
Main Page.

AFAIK, the info on the old SHOTimes FAQ isn't copyrighted in any way (I 
found no notice about it anywhere on the site), so I suppose we could 
copy all of that info over to get started.  I didn't do it (yet) because 
it's a *lot* of work.  If someone's feeling energetic, by all means, 
please feel free to move stuff over, updating and/or prettying it up as 
you go, if possible.

The great thing about the wiki format is that anyone can contribute as 
well as screw it up, but don't be nervous: the system keeps backup 
copies of everything that's changed, so if someone goes through and 
deletes everything, someone else can easily go in and undo the changes.

Please let me know (v6sho@jonheese.com) if you find any problems with 
this system or have any concerns, questions, comments about it.

Regards,
Jon Heese
