I have no idea where that thing is.

Well, hard to quantify. Partly I just didn't like the look / feel
of ZWiki at that time. And I was new to wikis in general and didn't
really like the MagicWikiLinkCamelCaseNamingConvention.
Still don't like it much but I've mostly made peace with it.
I do tend to prefer the [Arbitrary text in square brackets] link convention
that I've seen on some wikis.
I also remember feeling it was too hard to find stuff.
Maybe my organization was poor.
Note that I made a previous attempt at wiki-fying
the LAQHT.
That attempt is closed for modifications but still
available here:
http://www.slinkp.com/LiLAQ/
http://www.slinkp.com/LiLAQ/LinuxSoundcards/contents
So I would start with that, it contains some edits that never
made it into the LAQHT.
Paul,
I've started looking at those pages, but it says you were somewhat
dissatisfied with the results. I guess I need to ask you how / why --
my first approach would probably have been to just duplicate (move) the
pages to WikiLearn and open it up for modification. (When I first
suggested moving it to a wiki, I didn't have any idea it was already on
a wiki.) I went with
LDP license.

Let me know if that's too restrictive, I would be willing to
consider others.
I took a quick glance at it, and it appears to be much simpler than the
GFDL, so I suspect I can work with it. I'll let you know if I run into
a problem. (I do have to think about the copyright, as it stands now I
have a boilerplate copyright statement that goes on each page, I (we'll)
have to decide if that requires modification (which would not be as easy
as I'd like). Let me think about it some more before I bother you with
that.
Aside: As I started to look at the wiki, I digressed to your home page
and found things like your PVC saxophone and the "fuzz" box clone. Neat
stuff! (Not that I have any thought of building a PVC saxophone, but I
don't think I saw any dimensions (like diameter or length of pipe).)
