so, i have been making some suggestion to Cato about his doco.
texinfo isn't as weird as i remembered, although rather full of syntax 
glue, feels like a remnant of the hypertext link craze days.

its probably a good idea to let folks know that various bits of doco are 
in development.  publishing it to the list that a major/minor revision 
is being release.

i don't know if you guys want or need all the background discussion on 
the list or not.

yes i have been thinking about how to maintain documentation with a 
number of authors. sometimes a wiki isn't the right way, but a nice 
place to put the final version for a major/minor release.

you probably don't want new folks stumbling upon a draft mid-edit with 
conflicting directives...
