another important thing to consider -- the elinux wiki requires you to
use the GFDL for content posted there which is really quite
unfortunate.

along those lines, i don't see your wiki including any licensing info
... you might want to add that before accepting contributions.  i'd
suggest a creative commons one, perhaps what Wikipedia uses:
