I think that would be a good idea.

We should certainly let people know of updates to the wiki via email,
since I hate having to check a web site every few days to see if
anything has changed.

That's useful to know, thanks.
A possible problem with doing RHEL4 builds is that RHEL4 is tied to a
2.6.9 kernel, so someone will have to maintain the driver backport
stuff.

Doug Ledford has said before that he'd build packages for EL4. SUSE has
been very quiet so far.

For RHEL4, I'd suggest using Red Hat's .config, and just adding the
necessary IB bits. This is what I do when building e.g. 2.6.15 kernels
for my own internal testing, too; I start out with the FC4
kernel .config, and modify it.
