Yes, I am happy to set up and host a MediaWiki wiki. I think that we can
take
advantage of its superior functionality and presentation features to present
information more attractively, with use of diagrams, photos and variety of
formatting. I would like to make it more accessible to the less computer
literate ringers and researchers, and I hope that the better functionality
may encourage more editors of articles to come forward and increase the
information available. As mentioned, the ability to add discussion on 
individual pages would also be useful for some of the current topics. 

It would be ideal to maintain a set of definitions for technical terms used
in
change ringing, methods, composition etc that I have been suggesting.

I'll try and set it up this week and start to copy some content across if
you
Are OK with that.
