Don't worry about it, it took me just as long to reply...  :-)

How does everyone feel about using a wiki?  Take a look at this:=20
http://psplinux.sourceforge.net/ -- These folks are using MediaWiki,
the software behind the WikiPedia project, on their Source Forge
hosted web site.

Now take a look at this site:  http://hula-project.org -- This is the
exact same software with a different template running the main website
for Novell's new Hula mail/calendar server software.  Looks nice.

I've looked at MediaWiki briefly.  It comes with half a dozen
templates which can be used as a starting point to achieve the look
and feel that Bernd's developed.

I think we'd run it slightly differently than the AOLserver wiki we're
already familiar with.  We'd auto-generate Zoran's fancy new docs from
CVS as static pages, maybe using the wiki for comments.  Also, we'd
auto-generate a list of modules straight out of CVS so that it's
always up-to-date.

So, how about it?  I think it would be an easy, low maintenance way to
get a lot of people participating quickly.
