Maybe so.  You can't edit those pages without logging in, and I don't
see how to get a login there, though.  It's also a little tough for me
to look at those pages, what with the messy layout.  On my browser the
bullets in the left sidebar are bisected by the left edge of the
window!  Yeah, I probably sound really picky now, sorry, but I might
prefer writing some markup language in a git repo somewhere.  If we
use ReST, GitHub at least, will format it for us,
e.g. http://github.com/techarcana/s3backup/blob/master/README.rst
Also, I guess, they provide a wiki.  I'm not attached to that
particular approach, though.

That would be wonderful!

Not sure these are so great; naturally none of them told me what I
wanted to know, or I wouldn't be talking about this doc project!
