 	A wiki significantly reduces the barrier to contributing to
 	documentation, and works very well for _some_ areas. Ideally
 	it works as an adjunct to a main set of documentation and or
 	guides. It can serve as a source of both information and
 	contributers to pull across into a more formal set of docs,
 	thought there are areas best left in a wiki.

 	I would support linking to one from the main site and poentially
 	each port page.

 	So... who wants to set one up?
