I'm going to setup sourceforge wiki for tigervnc and we can write documentation there. Does anyone have better idea where documentation should be kept?

Re: [Tigervnc-devel] TigerVNC needs a wiki and documentation..
I now have some funding secured to work on TigerVNC, and improved documentation is on my list of things to do, although not at the top of the priority list. I'd like to at least spruce up the man pages before 1.1 releases.

One of the admins should be able to turn it on. No idea about functionality of it though.
