Cliff,

I for one would be interested.

I'd also be interested in getting semi invoved and adding some words to 
help out the PMCs who are thinking about getting something incubated. 
One of the things I noticed was we were getting information from a 
number of sources on what we needed to do and it wasn't always 
consistent.  Now is the ideal time to start it whilst it is fresh in the 
mind.

Maybe start on Wiki and then translate into forrest source when others 
are comfortable with the content?  It's the kind of stuff that should be 
on the incubator web site when it is complete.

Cheers,
	Berin
