The Dream of Red Chamber in wiki

I was really impressed by a piece of comment by Zhiyan Zhai when I was reading the Dream of Red Chamber. It says "I prey to God to create another Qin and another Zhi. It will be a great luck to the book and a great delight to us two"
能解者方有辛酸之泪,哭成此书。壬午除夕,书未成,芹为泪尽而逝。余尝哭芹,泪亦待尽。每意觅青埂峰再问石兄,余不遇獭头和尚何!怅怅!今而后惟愿造化主再出一芹一脂,是书何幸,余二人亦大快遂心于九泉矣。甲午八日泪笔。
I dreamed of being another Zhiyan Zhai expressing my ideas and feelings about this novel and sharing them with other alive. A wiki version of this book can record reversion history and provide collaboration between groups, and thus it will be good media to for people dreaming of being another Zhiyan Zhai like me. This media also involves now hot social network.

Fortunately, I came to know that Zoho release its wiki hosting service from TechCruch and I spent the whole night in tranferring a version of the Dream of Red Chamber to my wiki on Zoho. You can visit it at http://ryansonger.wiki.zoho.com/HomePage.html. It is still rather simple but I will add more materials in the future. And I welcome your comments and suggestions.
