I was about to say, "It's a wiki.  You could do that."  But then I saw 
it's not a wiki, so you can't do that.  It would be good to move all 
such materials to the wiki, I think.  Put them in one coherent place 
where they can, in principle, be improved by people who find them lacking.

Of course, the whole problem of getting programmers to document things, 
is once they've figured out what they need to know, they've lost most of 
the incentive to document.  Most people only document when they're 
really worried about being understood.  Like my CMake build, for 
instance.  I can't be inscrutable, I have to get people to convert from 
Autoconf to CMake.
