A lot of work has gone into the page, if you have any ideas on how to improve it please discuss either on the mailing list or on IRC *before* making any major changes. Although things can be reverted, its a pain, backups don't solve this properly either (no revision control).

Yes, let's discuss what I'd like to do. I've mentioned the pages I've
made and would love some feedback about them before I do any more -
otherwise I guess I can't contribute much to the wiki at this stage.
I'm pretty passionate about good documentation - and would love to be
involved but I'll need some feedback in the next few days so I know if
what I've done is any good.
