Guys, I know you chaps are quite new on this lift, so just to add a bit of background - we've been here many, many times before with various people pledging to fix and cleanup the wiki (myself included!) After much discussion we decided that what was needed were gardeners - not perhaps to write

Hi, Xavi, One of my tasks is to come up with a good organization for the wiki and a site map, as well as a list of things we'd like to add to it. Unfortunately, with the coming Scala/Liftoff and OSB conferences, I've been swamped with other things. But I am working on it, albeit slowly. If
