Hey Mike.

> Is there anything special I need to know about writing on the wiki?

Well, the GNOME wiki uses MoinMoin. If you are editing a page, you'll 
find links at the bottom for these two pages:

* http://live.gnome.org/HelpOnMoinWikiSyntax
* http://live.gnome.org/HelpOnEditing

Those pages explain pretty much everything you need to know.

Having said that.... Another way to learn about basic markup on our wiki 
is to just follow the 'edit' link on a page which contains the element 
type you want and look at how it was done. Then immediately cancel the edit.

And having said that... If the only thing that is preventing you from 
writing documents is wiki syntax (or Mallard syntax in the case of Orca 
help files), heck, write it in plain text. There are other community 
members who are familiar with MoinMoin and/or Mallard who could then 
take your content and make it available.

I think that sounds like a splendid idea!

Thanks and take care.
