  Ken: New Page

  Barry, I'll get right on it. I actually saw the wiki page before I saw your message above, and I was already thinking about the stuff I wanted to add.

  We have a slight case of unintended consequences here. I created the pages on Target Retirement Funds, Total Stock Market Index, and Total Bond Market Index partly to provide models for the many similar articles the hordes of wiki newbies could write.

  Barry, thanks for the update.

  Latest Iteration of Proposal to the Board

  Should there be a copyright/copyleft link somewhere in the wiki?

  Simba, that's a good idea. GFDL would seem appropriate.

  Mike: Nice avatar

  Looks like a variant of Barnsley's Fern.

  Creating Folders in pbwiki

  Looking at recent activity by Simba, I realized for the first time that anyone can create a folder. I've been really dense in this regard. Pick any wiki page, and on the right side there's a link labeled either Put this page in a folder or Put this page in a different folder. The resulting Choose a folder dropdown menu contains a choice labeled Create a new folder... It seems that I've bothered Barry very unnecessarily in the past to perform this function!

  Adding Footnotes to pages

  Simba, looks good. Thanks for pointing out this feature. I noticed your Footnote 3 contains a long url. (The footnote capability does not seem to include a hyperlinking feature, which is no big deal.) I was puzzled as to why you included it. Then I remembered from another thread your discussion about a bug in linking to URLs containing spaces. You indeed recasted the URL in your text using TinyURL. Presumably, you felt obligated in the footnote to reveal the original.

  Here's a better way. Use the PBwiki Magic HTML plugin. See the bottom of the Wiki Experimentation page for an example. Edit this page, and double click on the plugin placeholder to see the straightforward HTML code.

  OK to link to the wiki?

  I've already linked to the wiki, the Vanguard Target Retirement Funds article in particular. If we want the forum admins to host the wiki, we shouldn't keep it a secret. It's true that wiki information could move or change over time, but forum conversations mostly disappear into oblivion within a day or two.

  Book Reviews

  Mike, I like your reviews. I think they go into an appropriate degree of detail. You've read about 200 investing books?

  Welcome New Members

  Mike: You or Simba can link directly to the famous spreadsheet here. I got the link from this Bogleheads post.

  Do not upload the file!! I've appointed myself upload cop, sworn to protect our 10Mb of space.

  Mike: Lazy3 and Lazy7 Images

  I've noticed the following uploaded images: Lazy3.gif, Lazy3.png, Lazy7.gif, Lazy7.png

  I see where you use Lazy3.gif, but not the others. I could very easily be missing it. However, if you're not using some of these images, I'll delete them to keep things neat. Please let me know. Thanks.

  Ken
