Hashes wiki page

[Doug Smythies]

David,

Please assign yourself this one:

and execute it.

Everybody knows my opinion on this ongoing mess, so I will never chime in on it again.

... Doug

My input on this subject remains unaltered. The page should be replaced with the one we have been working on.
The authoritative supply of the information via HTTPS, or whatever, is not something the doc team can provide.

If this is how it plays out, then thanks.
