We certainly appreciate people stepping up to keep things up to date.
Wikis seem particularly prone to bitrot anyway, and depend on motivated
editors; it's probably a bad idea to include a date, since an update to
an entry a few years ago doesn't mean the item itself has gone stale -
and often also entry itself hasn't gone stale. Perhaps we should change
the column heading to "Entry Updated" or some such to make it slightly
less murky. Certainly there's not anything about the PyCharm entry
that's invalid despite it being marked 2018.
We need a wiki name to add you as an editor - was that supposed to be
HarryParker ?
