Thanks for the response, Michael.  Any other inputs from anyone?

I note that there was another question of the same type overnight!

Oh well, in the absence of other input I've knocked up a prototype. It
is at http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?CommandIndex 

I've just done a couple of the web pages so far, so we can see how it
looks.  In playing with this I've come to the view that:

- plugins are too hard to include so I'll ignore them (except for the
ones that come as standard? - discuss!!!)
- going back to cover earlier versions is too hard and pointless
- the best way to handle future changes (ie an item moves location from
one version to the next) isn't by multiplying columns as things rarely
move: the small number of case we will get can better be covered by
extra rows (see "DUMMY"  example).
- as its an INDEX I've duplicated several entries, so for example SONG
TITLE FORMAT appears in three places...
- This could get to be a very large page, it might be necessary to
split it up eg A-F, G-M, etc

If anyone sees this and feels like jumping in to help fill out the
table or correct errors - please DON'T just for the moment.

I think I have a neat way of creating and updating the table using
excel and I could easily blow away any updates that people make.  Can
we just establish the principle / layout first?

Then I'll populate it and then everyone can have a go.... or else we
can decide not to bother.
