Bubba:

Some of this stuff has already been thought out on wikipaedia

Yeah - its pretty comprehensive too. Would it just be worth linking to wikipedia for this kind of thing - or how do you think they feel about cribbing this kind of stuff.

Bubba:

Could link to it for now.

Cribbing from wikipedia is fine as long as the basic conditions are met:

The license Wikipedia uses grants free access to our content in the same sense as free software is licensed freely. This principle is known as copyleft. That is to say, Wikipedia content can be copied, modified, and redistributed so long as the new version grants the same freedoms to others and acknowledges the authors of the Wikipedia article used (a direct link back to the article satisfies our author credit requirement). Wikipedia articles therefore will remain free forever and can be used by anybody subject to certain restrictions, most of which serve to ensure that freedom.
