Fantastic. This is just the sort of thing I needed when I stopped using Windows for music, and moved to Ubuntu Studio.
I always wished that someone did a series of blog posts like this, or sold the series to one of the Linux magazines. Finding people to help review it should not be a problem. If you are not so happy with the idea of a wiki, I could push some html to my http://people.ubuntu.com/~rosco2/ website temporarily. We could probably put it on the ubuntustudio.org website in the end. Having the text in git would help others to propose merges.
