Wikitcms documentation

Hey, folks. A few people have asked before that I document the bundle 
of conventions and assumptions and wiki magic surrounding release 
validation pages on the wiki. These days the way I like to think of it 
is as if we had created a test management system called "Wikitcms", 
which is implemented as a set of expectations about the naming, 
content and categorization of wiki pages (and some wiki template-based 
mechanisms which aid producing pages that meet those expectations). 
I've written up a page which documents the notional "Wikitcms test 
management system":

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Wikitcms

I hope folks find it interesting / illuminating / useful. This pretty 
much writes down for human consumption the set of expectations that 
wikitcms/relval use to read existing results, and that they respect 
when creating new release validation events.

In the best F/OSS traditions, this introduces a fun naming confusion, 
in that Wikitcms the 'notional test management system' is not the same 
thing as python-wikitcms the 'Python module that interfaces with 
Wikitcms', but you might see me refer to both as 'wikitcms'. Things 
just wouldn't be any fun if they made sense, after all.

I still have a few more bits to add to it, but most of the meat is 
there already. Thanks!
