[Air-l] Roommate finder

[Jeremy Hunsinger]

sure, we just use the forums, but the recent sql upgrade requires an  
upgrade for that, so that is out for now.  So what I've done is  
changed the default skin for the aoir wiki to cologneblue, which  
should be more usable for most people.  then i added this http:// 
wiki.aoir.org/index.php?title=Roommate_Finder   which is a perfectly  
serviceable roommate finder method.

hope that helps,

j
