Yes, you get it. It corrected it.

Good idea ; done too :)

why you wanted it.

Nice idea, but at this point, it seems normal that trying to reach
Mihini from another computer will not work, because we don't have
configured anything yet.

Thanks for your feedbacks, and as Benjamin said, feel free to edit the
wiki when you see a mistake ; and if you're not sure we can still talk
about it on the ML.
