Excelent, I agree on that, it looks good.

Coding is good for coders, but end-users enjoy having documentation
and help and information :P I can understand code, but never felt good
with projects which think best way to get needed info is read code
(mostly without comments :).

One thing I noticed while browsing wiki around now, external and
internal links look same. Is it possible to get external links show
they are external? How-To section has in same list both links in same
wiki, and also to other people's blogs and posts. Not to mean they are
bad source of information, but at least reader would notice they are
being directed out of the wiki (or directeded to other wiki page,
containing own list of things like Monitoring has.)

Even if this suggestion isn't doable or worth it, I think wiki is now
much better place to start seeking information, and then leaf out to
related things.
