I'm quite interested in getting some Wl documentation together.

There is already a Wiki FAQ <http://wiki.gohome.org/wl/> which could
be a good place to concentrate efforts. We could add to this some more
detailed tutorial-like pages.

I'd be happy, once there's some more content, to take charge of
editing selected pages into some bundleable documentation for release.

Also, consider this a "call for URLs". I know I've seen at least a few
blog posts and the like which describe people's experience with
installing/configuring/using Wl. Please add any that you know of to
this thread.
