stephen_leake> Ok, that makes sense. But let's focus on 1.0; what is the release

That is the wish, yes.  However, I wouldn't make that the highest
priority, unless someone (you?) is very determined.

I've made a start, have a look at http://wiki.monotone.ca/extra, where
I've added a few pages already.  Some of them describe things that we
have already moved to extra/, and then, there are the contributed
ones, which would basically be those taken from contrib/, or anything
else we'd like to present (I added Monotone::AutomateStdio, as an
example), in http://wiki.monotone.ca/extra/contrib/.

I've added a couple of templates to help make sure we have a few
things in one or two infoboxes.  They are (description URL in parens):

 - extra (http://wiki.monotone.ca/templates/extra/)
   This is mandatory.
 - repository (http://wiki.monotone.ca/templates/repository/)
   This is optional for source that isn't directly in the wiki or in
   the monotone source.

Those templates are to be used with the ikiwiki template directive
(see http://ikiwiki.info/ikiwiki/directive/template/)

Cheers,
Richard
