[Coco] Drivewire and ADOS...

[Bill Pierce]

Brian and Gene... Cocopedia WAS hacked a while back, but it was internally done by someone signing up when it was managed by a "bot". Allen now personally monitors all who sign up and only those he knows.
There's been no problems since

Gene,

I think you're confusing coco3.com with CoCoPedia. CoCoPedia runs on 
MediaWiki; coco3.com runs on WordPress, and has had a large number of 
issues in the far past and semi-recent past. I'm not aware of CoCoPedia 
being hacked...
