This seems a good idea. Although the document is mature enough, it
would keep an open door for improvement.

Great. I'll take a look at the Wiki think. And I don't mind the
responsability to mantain it after it's ready. It is not likely to be
a very demanding job anyway. I just cannot compromise for learning the
DocBook stuff /now/: I'm already running late with my thesis and
cannot spare much time for anything else for a couple of weeks at
least...
