I have a bit of a start (the first two bits) sitting on my computer at home.

But wanted to ask what the best way of presenting this was.

I had thought (like Richard) that a wiki-style thing (perhaps a little bit of the User's Corner?) could be a good place for this. Then if others felt like completing a bit of one of the tasks they could add that in easily.

Alternatively I could ask people to email bits they've done to me and construct a latex/pdf document that can be put up somewhere in documentation.

Do either of these sound sensible?
Are there better ways?
Should I go away and pester the documentation people?
