We also have bzrlib/doc/api, which is intended for developers and  
contains some (very small) api documentation, which is run as  
doctests.  I think adding some developer documentation in doc/devel  
would be fine.

However, this helpful document about how to make a win32 binary  
release, is probably only of interest to a few people at a time, and  
perhaps doesn't need to stay in sync with bzr releases.  So it's  
probably perfectly happy on the wiki, unless you want to move it.   
The page http://bazaar-vcs.org/ReleaseChecklist is similar and also  
on the wiki.
