That could be. as some of the wiki pages contains the sample
rendering, that should definitely be helpful for the end users too to
see how it looks like. unfortunately not available everything. we
could improve it.
For the audience, I don't know.. maybe Nicolas Mailhot?

Sure. yes, I like it. that depends what sort of information we provide
though, the wiki pages can be easily outdated if noone maintains. so
maybe nice to have the sort of web apps or any infrastructure working
at the background to generate information from the packages and so on.
well, we could do that with wiki even though.
