If we get a good document set up, I think that debian-doc or -www will
put up a link, wherever it is housed (homed?) for publishing.
If the wiki page was one long page with chapters for each of our areas
of interest, we can wget and store the html that makes the document.
That way if the wiki goes defunct we still have the document, with its
licence statement, to put somewhere else.
