Yes, we (the regulars that is) have worked really hard to make thw wiki a
productive, and viable method of collating new docs, as well as being able
to use it as a staging platform for the 'real docs'.  More so after the
difficulty we faced in getting the wiki setup in the first place.

Either in its entirety or in part.
