I'll add it at some point. The reason I haven't is because right now the Fast Charge applet isn't part of the Openmoko stack. A default image of Openmoko doesn't support this charger in fast mode (which is the ONLY think I'm concerened about, frankly).
And... This might show my own biases, but I can't STAND wiki. The general consensus among "commoners" is that, because wiki can be changed by anyone, they're unreliable. I know this isn't the case, and i do assume that the vast majority of people are doing things with good intention, but having OFFICIAL documentation on a wiki is about as good for the "average consumer" as having no documentation at all.
