I'm reluctant to endorse this suggestion, because it means that we will
spawn YA information source to track.  We'll have:

1.  launchpad
2.  mailing list
3.  manual
4.  wiki

Question:  would it be acceptable to you to use the launchpad as a
quasi-wiki for this?  We could ticket this as an "enhancement," if that
would meet with your approval.

I see the advantages of a wiki over launchpad, but the diffusion seems
bad...

Best,
