Re: [orca-list] Self Introduction

Hello,
I suppose its that I need to learn about writing stuff using a wiki,
probably once I have done that it might be a lot quicker for me to add
this information. Annoyingly for me I do know some basic html, and I
thought wikis were meant to make it easier to write stuff online, but
the initial looks at the documentation for writing a wiki page looks
more complicated, but may be that's my structured mind liking the
structure and order of things like html.
