Hi,

I beg to differ. There is enormous scope for adding more information to
the wiki (seeds, bulbs, leaves, dormancy, cultivation).

Even if people are not prepared to go out and photograph things, we have
a large backlog of photographs to add.

I have a list of 1000's of spelling errors in the wiki...

As to the "we can't do XXX because of people using damp string to
connect to the 'net". It is good to consider these people, but it is bad
to let them dictate what is done.

For example the wiki has low resolution images which they can use, but
that does not stop us also having high resolution images.

People with string connections eventually get fibre, and at that point
they demand high quality and abandon what they've used before.

I help moderate the yahoo lily list, images are allowed in messages.
Again there is the consideration for the damp string people, "keep
attachments below 200K", but I've yet to hear anyone complain about the
size of photos when people exceed that amount.
