Hi John,

I'm glad you read the book!

This question - how much data there should be before it's worth turning the
wiki into a structured wiki - doesn't have an obvious answer, I don't
think. If your table is going to stay roughly that size, there probably
isn't much point to do it. If it's going to grow by a lot, and especially
if there will eventually be more columns, then it seems worthwhile. But I
don't know what the cutoff point is.
