I realize that it would be quite difficult to make a system where multiple people can edit the dictionary in text. There's all kinds of timing issues and things that can go generally wrong. But if someone's putting in lots of definitions at once, editing text is much nicer than clicking through HTML forms. I don't know if you can do anything about this. -- mu'o mi'e rab.spir
