A wiki would eliminate that bottle neck (PR).
Some parts are out of date. Others fail to mention FAQ , etc. that
could really help. For instance, the NAT/DHCP articles could easily
include a 'typical home user' HOWTO rather then tricking the user into
reading that one line where it says you have to recompile your kernel
with IPFIREWALL support.

Things like that bring noise to this mailing list. Idon't know about
you but I'd rather just add my new found info to the site rather find
a PR addy, submit it and wait for it to be added. We have software
that does this now. Lets use it! :)
