The fact that Technologic choose to host the support on an unofficial 
medium like yahoo groups probably indicates a choice of keeping a 
distance between the official site and user content.

That wiki is open to edits so probably no need to ask. There's an 
invitation to add projects detail to it.

That seems to be the aim of his wiki. 

If you want to use the wiki format , which seems a good idea, that's 
probably a good place to go.

Thanks for the details you've posted here, I definately want to give 
this a try.
