RE: VMs: Voynich Information?

["GC" <glenclaston@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Nick,

I was referring to a permanent page that could be picked up by the search
engines and be exposed "to the world" as an interesting "links"/index page
for another project site.

I'm watching your Wiki with interest, although I notice that it has no
"overlord" that keeps blatant factual errors from creeping in.  Are you
really certain you want me to write something there, considering how errant
I've become in my middle age? :-)  Just kidding.

On your jargon page, you have a fairly incomplete description of
code/cipher, and under Steganography, I'd like to see a steganographic
system capable of emitting readable text that DOESN'T rely on mathematics as
its distribution or "strewing" method (as Gustavus Selenus would say).  Even
your examples of jpegs and wav's use complex algorithms for storage and
extraction.

I'd jump in an hit the "edit this page" button, but in things like
definitions and other factual statements, I'd worry about how my
interpretation might offend the original writer - which in this case would
be - YOU! :-) And we all know how testy a Brit can get when he's
offended...:-)  (Please don't take me seriously.)

Good concept anyway, Nick... and when you find some time, get it right, ok?
:-)
