Check out the wiki at http://www.councilofelrond.org/wiki.  We've been
working on that rules wiki for almost a year now and it's looking pretty
good.  I've done a lot of editing on it to wikify the existing rules docs,
so most of them look decent.  The goal of that wiki is to convert all the
existing rules docs into 1 single official rules document.

Funny you should mention this one too...I'm currently working on this as a
tool. :)  This just gives me another reason to do more work on it.
