Agreed. If you wait making these decisions, you will have a lot of
wrapping to do when you finally make it. The longer you wait, the harder
it will get. The problem is that we don't really know what to expect from
the content, to my knowledge, there aren't really that much contributions
yet.

Maybe we should just write the first entry (probably being "aardvark" in
a good BlackAdder tradition) and try to establish a format based on the
example.
