Interesting thing I discovered while doing this work, Wiki4D is used as 
the host for Documentation Comments, the comments/Wiki link at the top of 
every page.

In the past I personally was afraid to point new users to Wiki4D, and the 
reason for that is I couldn't even find my way around... some links would 
end up in the strangest places, everyone wanted to improve the content so 
they create their own page instead of modify an existing one. You ended 
up with not one thing out dated, but two or three of the same thing out 
dated.

In any case, once I have completed what I want to get done, I'm going to 
see about getting Walter to link to the homepage a little more than just 
the D Wiki link under "Community."
