  I did a bit of that in the FAQ, not a bad idea. The problem is 
to write those.

  There is a few reasons I'm not fully comfortable with a Wiki:
    - implementing it, that mean a server, with custom code,
      serving dynamic pages, very different from a simple server
      with static pages.
    - content management, how can you ensure that important informations
      don't get erased, that errors don't get added
    - currently the search engine indexes the mail archives, this mean
      information which is garanteed to be persistant, which is peer
      reviewed (there is around 600 persons on the list).

  Seems to me the mail archives are some kind of Wiki, less structured
but with more content review.

  In general I try to automate and version as much as possible all the
documentation build, indexing, etc ...

   It was Error in the Subject...
