Re: [colorforth] How many colorForthers to screw in a lightbulb -- could it throw some light for those in the darkness?

Dear Ray & all,

That leads me into a question I want to ask all.

...And then when when someone new stumbles on the colorForth lighting 
approach, he reads that a couple of dozen people got their bulbs working 
in different ways.  So he has a go, and after hours he finds it just 
won't work.  When he asks he is kindly told that, of course, he needs a 
vacuum too (doh) but many different vacuums are readily available on 
obscure ftp sites...

OK, so I'm not a comedian!

But, I have found historical evidence of wikis for colorForth: Sleepless 
Nights, Quartus, Kristopherjohnson.  Is there currently a working one? I 
think there isn't :-(  I mean I have notes that I want to share and it 
seems a waste just to keep my notebook to myself, but I don't want to 
reproduce documentation others have already provided.

Thanks,
Jason
