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!
