We should publish on the blog a bit before.
Also, how can I help?

Some more related pages:
http://wiki.xen.org/xenwiki/Xen4.0
http://wiki.xen.org/xenwiki/Xen4.1
http://wiki.xen.org/xenwiki/XenKernelFeatures
http://wiki.xen.org/xenwiki/XenBestPractices
http://wiki.xen.org/xenwiki/XenHypervisorBootOptions

Also there's something completely new that we should document:
How to install Xen VMs! which means document all the relevant methods:
boot the native distro installer as PV guest, as HVM guest, xen-tools, virt-install,
debootstrap, rpmstart, etc..

That's something people ask about very often..
 
Agreed.

After working through a bunch of the pages I think we are going to have to have a realtime collab session to decide on some way of reorganising everything into categories.
