It would feel like a bit of abuse of wikipaedia if everyone started to 
host their development wikis over there. :) There is little 
encyclopaedic value in 'RunningAntWithGcj' entries ;)
One negative point about wikis is that they are worthless if you are 
offline. So maybe creating a 'Mortals' Guide to Gcj' document in the gcj 
CVS where someone extracts frequently published information from the 
mailing lists into a comprehensible form, would be nice. It could 
accompany the wiki, of course :)
No, I don't volunteer, I've got my hands full with Kaffe ...
