Most of the basic info needed for the page can be grabbed without
doing anything overly technical. You can easily fill in ~2/3 of the
info box content and photos taken with your phone are good enough for
the external photos.

Definitely. We do have mailing list archives, they're not going to get
"lost" if you don't put them on the wiki.

It's about having one place for everything. Wiki for info and
instructions and "data" like the FEX file and memory info goes in the
git repositories.

It looks like you've done most of what's needed, there's just a few
extra bits required before it's done.

Thanks,
