Dear Lauw and All,

This is an excellent question. For now we are loading in the wikilinks
alphabetically, but in time our wikipage will get very long if everyone
discovers what a great system this is and posts their pictures so we will
need to figure out ways to group them. Mark McDonough has offered to help
me with this (yea!) but all ideas for how to do this are welcome. How about
if you have any ideas about how to do this, writing both of us together
privately:
Mark is mailto:antennaria@aol.com and mine is mailto:msittner@mcn.org

Several ideas as we brainstorm are to have a page for each genus (could be
a problem if he posted pictures of all 850 species of Allium), or we could
group plants by place of origin (California bulbs for example) and divide
them further when that page got too long, or we could have a TOW page and
put images there to accompany our discussions. We could have a wikipage for
unknown bulbs. They could be moved once they were identified. We will
definitely want to organize it and since we will have our own page now is
the time to figure it out. We can always change it later, but that's extra
work. Think about what seems to you the most logical and easy way to
organize things and let us know. I will go ahead to take the steps to get
our own wiki.

There is a bit of a learning curve on this at first, but then it seems
really easy. You can practice what you are doing without anyone watching or
anyone seeing your mistakes. You preview what you have done and if it isn't
right, just go back and change it.
