[Edu-sig] Test Driven Learning: combining MoinMoin and Crunchy

[Andrew Harrington]

The archive sounds good Andre!

I would like to suggest that the home page of such a wiki ask submitters to
put examples under folders for particular categories, either adding to
existing ones or creating new ones where needed.  Also wikis search for
pages based on categories.  We might agree on some basic terms to use in
categories.  One group might be based on level of difficulty  or length ....

Then follow the basic Wiki ethos, and let people organize what they submit,
adding to existing groupings where it makes sense, and creating new ones as
needed.
