Uhmm I never suggested using the wiki for sponsor management. My sponsor
management page suggestion was in correlation to your remark that I
could just request stuff from -www that I needed.
Perhaps you should follow your own thread.

Well clearly we're talking at cross purposes then, 'cos as I understand it the original argument was about not using a wiki for user facing stuff, to which you argued it saved having to figure out the technicalities of how to add stuff to the main website, and gave sponsor management as an example. > Perhaps you should follow your own thread.
