Actually, "http://parasail-lang.org" goes to:

    https://forge.open-do.org/plugins/moinmoin/parasail/

but for some reason the "wiki" server automatically adds clickable links every time it 
sees the word "ParaSail" presuming there is a sub-page with that name.  The work-around is 
to simply create such a page.  I did so, and made it a copy of the base page for now.
