RE: Catalog Scanning Project

I am concerned that the WIKI will use up too much space for this catalog
project which would compromise its primary purpose of providing up to date
information about current iris introductions.  From what I remember, there is
only so much space available(bytes) on the current site.  Am I wrong?
