Thank you!

Thanks Shawn and everybody for all the work and contributions so far. I'm getting value out of the wiki already and am looking forward to more complete content. There is some great information here so far and the wiki is looking very promising. I wasn't aware of many of the wiki standards when I started posting, so have posted a lot of non-standard content, but I'm going back and cleaning them up and now I know better when adding new content.

Wiki practice

Embedding HTML

There are some neat Youtube videos that I'd like to embed on the chemical industry page. What do you think about turning on the raw html feature? Too risky from a security perspective?

I sent a message to John about embedding video in the wiki, specifically in regards to an EmbedVideo extension. However, he indicated that the security concerns were enough for him to rather go with links to videos. (This was in context to the open-source software articles I was working on.) I assume a similar suggestion to John about opening up HTML would result in the same response. There seems to be a more secure option involving hashes and secret keys. That's a little out of my league, but it could be an option if you feel embedding video via HTML would truly enhance the article. Feel free to point John to this extension if you think it's worth a look.
