Hi. I would like to help on this task also.
In fact, I've been "fooling around" the wiki and there are a bunch of outdated information and some of them could be "recycled", others simply deleted, some of them could be updated. I was wondering if there is someone taking care of this issue. Case not, I would like to help on that too.
