Well, to be fair, I thought I was trying to address that by suggesting  
that there should be a "top level doc project" - individual projects  
could point up to it just as easily as it could point down to them,   
but it would be a clear "docs portal" for everyone.  I know not  
everyone agrees with this assertion, but I think all the projects on  
macosforge have more knowledge collectively in common than they  
think.  I then look laterally to the success of projects like  
wikipedia, which has a knowledge base and contributing community far  
more vast by comparison, and cannot help but think "hmmm.."

No disagreement at all.  Links are cheap, people!   Use them!
