When working on the pages, could you please also take a look at the port pages (http://www.debian.org/ports/sparc) and consider what information could/should be added there? Links to installation docs etc. would be very helpful, as I think those pages become a starting point for a lot of people. Right now there are very few links into Debian sparc information in there.
