[Scons-users] Wiki not working

[Matthew Swabey]

If I could interject that if you are thinking of moving to a new system 
please use httrack to freeze the current wiki into static html for 
reference purposes and historical purposes. Effectively unhackable and 
very low on resources apart from the space :)
