So what do your other 41 minds think about this, or are they all  in 
agreement?

This  is exactly why I want to toss around the idea for a while.

On the end  of repairs and DIY stuff with the 'Trons I'm thinking there is 
no reason why  all the information would have to go up at once.

If that information  were to go up at once I would certainly require 
Streely and Markus to post  their trade secrets, or someone to post their trade 
secrets. I'm not going to  be the ass that asks them to cut their own throats. 
Hell, I'm tossed up right  now which 'Tron do I buy FIRST? The MkVI or the 
M4000?

However, a Wiki  can snowball over years. As some of us more daring souls 
attempt our own fixes  or changes, and if they do work (or if they fail 
spectacularly) that can be  mulled over and then added to the Wiki.

I'm thinking we don't need  consensus on what "correct" technique or mixing 
is. We also don't need a  complete listing of everyone's technique. Perhaps 
our 'Tron veterans could  come up with articles on the most classic 
techniques and mixing aesthetics for  the 'Tron. Say maybe, the Pinder way, the 
Wakeman way, the McDonald/Fripp way,  the later and more stringent Fripp/Cross 
way. Not that those are the only  classic methods but I think it gets my 
point across.

Management I have  no clue about. Maybe in a few years I'll have time to 
help the Wiki but like  most people I'm particularly buried right now. I have 
about 10 minutes for  this list and the other say every third day.

Let's keep  debating!
