Guys - when you edit something and save it, if it shows a conflict, it means two people edited at the same time. If you save yours at that point, you are DELETING the work of the other person.
We need to be aware of this. It is very likely that multiple people will be grabbing a section at the same time. It's not a good idea to just trash somebody else's changes. If you see a conflict, don't just save.
I don't know Wiki well enough to understand how you deal with this. Is there a way to merge changes, like source control systems for software development do?
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
