It ISN'T widely known.  I've been one of the "lurkers" on this list, and until about a month ago visited the site regularly.  Never ocne did I know that there was a wiki that I could have used to post the document to.  In fact, I didn't know until someone was kind enough to point it out off-list, I might add.

Well, considering that this isn't the first time that I have distributed documents in this manner.  The only unique factor is my audience.
