Aaron,

Great write-up!  You can go ahead and add it to the documentation
section of the new CMS.  I'd say to put a link to it off of the
Installation page.  Here are the steps to create the page:

-add the CMS bookmarklet to your browser - see
   https://cms.apache.org/#bookmark
-go to http://vcl.apache.org/
-click the bookmarklet to start editing
-log in with your subversion userid/password
-scroll down to the docs/ directory and click on it
-click [Edit this directory] at the top of the page
-in the 'Add New File or Directory' text box, enter something like
shibauth.mdtext and hit Enter
-create the page content (the markdown takes some getting used to)
-hit Submit at the bottom (actually, a good idea to hit this
occasionally and then start editing again to save your progress -
changes are only saved in your copy of the cms at this point)
-after submitting it, if you click [Browse] - you'll see a generically
styled version of your page.  It doesn't include our css styling.
-when you are finished, you can click [Commit] to commit it to the
staged section
-you can view the staged version of your page by clicking the [Staged]
link when browsing the docs directory
-you'll need to edit the installation.mdtext page to add a link to your
new page and commit that change
-finally, when everything looks right, you can publish the site to make
the page displayed at vcl.apache.org
