I started the process of moving to the wiki'ized page, then dropped it
out of laziness (apparently). If you're interested in moving more stuff
there and separating into a mainpage with links to all the others, that
would be great.

Note, a wiki can't replace a mailing list. I'm not going to go watch a
webpage change, but I will read the posts to a mailing list :)

Thanks,
Nish
