I would say that is probably one of the most important documents listed on that page. It should be no small undertaking. I would say that the more in-depth you can make it without duplicating other documents, the better. I know you are a talented writer, and I am thrilled that you have taken interest in this task. Would you care to put together a quick outline of your thoughts for this document? You're going to need write access on the wiki quickly enough. If you haven't already, create a wiki account, and then let us know what your wiki name is so we can grant you the necessary privileges. -- Patrick "The N-Man" Barnes nman64@xxxxxxxxx www.n-man.com --
