I was not aware that mere users were supposed to contribute
documentation. No offense meant.

Seriously, I have a few more Wix related items bookmarked, so
I seemingly found them interesting when struggling to become
aquainted with Wix:

http://weblogs.asp.net/lorenh/archive/2004/05/09/128899.aspx
http://installing.blogspot.com/
http://blogs.msdn.com/josealmeida/archive/2004/11/08/253831.aspx

And maybe the connection to the MS installer could/should
be emphasized a bit. A top-level link to 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/msi/setup/windows_installer_guide.asp
wouldn't be the worst thing to do in my eyes...

When the mailing list was down on SF I got access to it via
http://www.nabble.com/wix-users-f4470.html
Given the fact that SF operation is generally somewhat shaky
a link to such a backup just in case would not hurt either.

Thank you. Looks much better now.

Anyone can contribute documentation. I added three links and deleted a 
bunch of spam. Took five minutes.

When one accesses SF "the SF" way, documentation will be
expected at http://sourceforge.net/docman/?group_id=105970.

However, this page only contains three "Sponsor Links",
no trace of any Wix related documentation at all.

This gives the wrong impression IMHO.
