I think this is a terrific idea and would be an excellent compliment  
to the existing documentation. My father taught English for years so  
please excuse my rather pedantic editing of the wiki but hopefully  
that type of editing can help create clarity for new package  
maintainers and other developers.

I am part of the debian-perl team and will try to bring in specific  
information regarding perl packages as well, unless people think that  
specific packaging team information is too specialized for this  
particular wiki page?

As someone actually interested in documentation and with a bit of  
free time, I will try to contribute as much as possible.
