For things like CFI tracking, I'd like the Minister of CFIs to handle 
them however e wants. If e wants me to put some things on the wiki, or 
put some php scripts e wrote on bnomic.org, I'll do that, but I'd like 
to be able to ignore things like assigning CFIs and writing down the 
judgments. Then I'd like em to send me an XMLized version of all 
recently concluded CFIs, say once every nweek, so I can file them where 
a fulltext history searcher can find them.

That'll be much more possible once the wiki and the database are on the 
same server.

Ok, so something with #'s or some such character delimiting commands. 
Second question: when this is done formally, how should it be enforced? 
We could take away points for making props that could use the syntax 
but don't, reward people for using the syntax, or flat-out ignore props 
that fail to use it... there might be some other possibilities as well.

I'm leaning towards take points from those who don't use it - 
basically, you can submit a proposal without the syntax if you want, 
but there'll be a handling fee because I'll have to enter things 
myself.
