This sounds good to me. Could you pl contribute towards putting this bit of
information on the wiki? We already do have a HowTos section which is empty
and need some love... ;-)

A request to everyone - if you have an idea about any wiki page, pl go ahead
and update it and then could mail the groups about it. We could all then
collectively review and put forth our views regarding it...how does that
sound? That will definitely speed things up. Thoughts ?

Looking forward to everyone's contribution..
