Do you mean an update to the web site from the wiki? As far as the data
is concerned, it is stored on a reliable database (never had a problem
with it) and I do make regular backups. If on the other hand, you mean
updating the site with the wiki info, I really don't see much point to
that: It's more work and wouldn't be final anyway.

Honestly, if all that's keeping people from contributing is not having
it "publicly" available now, I will happily put it up where the static
site is now and alias Apple2Guide.net to it. I'd rather have waited and
seen if it gets enough support, but if that's what's keeping people
from contributing in the first place, there's no purpose to it and I'll
just put it up now. Please let me all know what you think of this.

I agree. I look forward to your changes and additions. :-)

Thanks,
