The wiki isn't as hard to use as it may seem at first glance.  To add
or change anything currently on the site, just click on the edit tab.
To start a new page, the easiest thing to do is go to the "Start Page"
and click on edit.  Type in the subject in double parenthesis and
save.  This creates a link to the new page (question mark at the end of
the new subject).  Click on the link and edit the new page.  Just type
in the info you want.  There are a lot of formatting features, but they
aren't necessary.

As a last resort, anyone who prefers can send me an email with the
information, and I will add it to the wiki.

Finding information can be done with search, or clicking on the little
dots at the left of the Wiki menu item will expand the Wiki menu.  The
"List Pages" option gives a crude index of the site.

I believe there are some features that aren't being used to categorize
data, and I may look into that after I get my plane flying.

I basically use the wiki to keep track of anything I think I might want
to refer to later.  For example, I pasted the information Tracy provided
about the RX-8 plugs into the "Spark Plug" page.
