I had tracebacks in mind. If those are the easiest things to do, let's
start there. :)

Again, in the spirit of making this as easy as possible, let's just try
to get the top wiki / doc link in there. For one, it's less likely to
change.

I'm curious to take a look myself, but I know I likely won't get to this
'till the end of the month, so if anyone else is curious, don't feel
you'll be stepping on my toes!

I'd like to throw in the idea of not using a wiki URL, but a more
generic one that is http-redirected to the current, software-specific URL.
example:
output URL: http://www.list.org/faq/4.36
redirect to: -> http://wiki.list.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=4030705
I think the best URL for now would be having http://list.org/doc be
something equivalent to what I have on http://wiki.list.org/display/DOC/Home
I do like the idea of making the FAQ have short links like that, though.
The ones generated by the wiki aren't as easy to guess at. I imagine
it wouldn't be hard to write a script...
Maybe I should take another stab at modernizing and reorganizing the web
site? ;) [1]
