The version posted on the wiki is already obsolete and I'm thinking about replacing the content with a link to current location.

Your outside interests are definitely understandable. Whatever you can accomplish will be greatly appreciated.

My hope is also that it will become a new manual, but the decision about how it is presented to the user is up to the core developers, I guess. I'm usually against hiding the information, so a new entry in the help menu can't hurt, me thinks. :) But we're miles away from that point. There will be plenty of time to discuss these matters.
