I think that is a great idea. That way the students get some experience
making corrections and posting them, and you guys can make sure they are
correct.  Also, I really like the wiki, it will be a great way to keep us
organized. I had one idea, what if we put a "comments" section after our
name so that we could post any issues we had with the review?
