To the build or the doc?

Regarding the latter, have youse thought about a wiki, or other vehicle for user-contributed doc? Minimally, you could point to

http://wiki.python.org/moin/PyPy

and have folks work there. Currently it says

http://wiki.python.org/moin/PyPy
> Please refer to the PyPy home page and development site

(which appear to be the same page)

> for more information about this Python implementation.

which (IMHO, YMMV) kinda discourages putting more information on that wiki.
