[wiki] PAE page: formatting and flavor-agnosticism

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
+1
from a lurker with almost no idea about PAE but did find it fairly useful
on a couple of old machines a few years ago.

I only had a very quick glance at the pages and neither seems to be as
"wordy" as many other pages.  It looks like people are being nicely
succinct.  Generally i prefer a splash of colour.  Also images can really
help clarify things.

I quite liked the suggestion of having a separate page for "advanced users"
but given how short it all is maybe such a thing could be just lower-down
the same page?  Maybe that way it might be easy to condense it, or just
leave it as is so people can see 2 perspectives to gain greater
understanding.

I am glad Alberto got inspired to try to combine both approaches!  At worst
i have seen such a third way unite both the parties that had previously
been in disagreement but i suspect Alberto has found something really neat
that is easier to show than describe.

Good luck all!
Many regards from
Tom :)
