[Brad Appleton] If the CMWiki is coming back I would like to resume my role as a co-contributor and caretaker.
I would also ask that the old vanity subdomain of cmcrossroads.com that redirected to the old CMWiki be reinstated to redirect to the new one (I think it was cmwiki.cmcrossroads.com)
I suppose it would be too much to ask that the other old CMWiki pages have their old URLS be able to redirect to the new location ... but at the very least please reinstate cmwiki.cmcrossroads.com (I know of a lot of other places that reference it -- including some books published in the last 5 years)
