I don't really have the time to take on a major role in the project
(although I'd live to take it on), but I'd be more than happy to work
on testing and finishing off the remaining pages. Perhaps it could be
made more wiki-like so that people could contribute their own small
fixes? Actually, maybe the best would be some sort of source-control
system whereby a user could suggest a change and trusted maintainers
could vet the changes.
