it would be nice if we can link this wiki with COPTR
- Last time somebody proposed massive interlinking with COPTR, Jason (this site's owner) disliked it because it would "splatter" all sorts of links to pages that are not always very useful, all over the site. Some more modest interlinkage just to COPTR pages that actually have useful and relevant resources might be acceptable, though. Just what are you proposing?
