I set a basic VMs wikibook in motion a while ago, though it would be false 
to claim that it is moving much now (except in a strong wind, perhaps). 
Here's a link to the skeleton:-
        http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/The_Voynich_Manuscript

My original plan was to page-strip the notes out of the interlinear file & 
dump them into individual pages as stubs: then, to devise a cunning way of 
automagically linking mailing list threads (both in the archive, and as 
they get posted) to the VMs wikipages to which they refer: and finally, to 
begin the long slow process of editing pages into some semblance of order, 
probably as topics came up. But I never really got started on that journey 
of a thousand miles. :-(

I suppose you can file all this under [P], in the notably capacious 
"Planting trees you never expect to sit beneath" folder: but it did seem to 
be sensible when I started, honest it did. :-)

As with all things VMs, feel free to make of it what you will... :-o

Cheers, .....Nick Pelling.....
