Robert,

We in LSVR don't use it so no impact to us.

I had used it in my Nomcom stint as it was available (and seemed to have
worked for previous chair(s) ).

As for what I think of the tool?  I don't like to criticize work by which I
can't or am unwilling to make better myself.  That said, having used other
platforms, I find it more onerous  to use and the bar to manage content
higher.  Normally when I am using a Wiki, I want the effort I need to
express navigating the tool to be near impedance zero and most of my effort
to go into writing and updating content (I find no personal satisfaction in
working harder than I need to - very spoiled I am).

However, if we keep the tool, I won't complain and would use it for my Wiki
needs.

regards,

Victor K
