Good idea. Although if it WAS reviewed and approved, presumably it would be in the book. On the other hand if it is expansion of what is in the book (as opposed to my disconnected jottings about packages that no-one wants :), it might well be approved already, but just not considered suitable for the book for some reason. I still don't like the Hints format though, and won't use it again. I have considered putting up my own wiki for the packages that I'm interested in. Then you can link to it or not as you will. But I'm not interested in wiki's, per se, so I probably won't.
