Look, I'm not a documentation expert or understand what the project team is trying to accomplish with their documentation or wiki. A user on the mailing list asked me to summarize what I did to get all the issues resolve related to media acceleration and decoder. What I put in the How Do I was a summation of the questions and answers that were in the email thread. I can just as easily email that user the summary, if it's not appropriate for the wiki. Please feel free to edit what I put there or remove it.
