Well, if the Wiki turns out to be the master set of docs in the long
run, and we can generate html and/or text from them to go into the
distributions (and CVS), then my "grep" will still work.  I tend to
use grep a lot, and find it faster to work with text documents than
I do web docs.  Also it takes a while to bring up a web browser plus
if there's any graphics on the web pages they're very slow to load
over a dial-up.
