Hi Rob,

Thanks for your feedback!

I think that the idea of a collaborative effort to put together the
Radiance documentation has been now around for quite a while, and
briefly discussed during the past workshop.
I just thought it is about time to start working on it ... 
Have you tried to register your account? ;-)

As your eye has already suggested, it is largely inspired by Mark's
magnificent work, but it is only one of my naive attempts, I'm afraid 
:-/ 
It would be nice if each page had some pictures of random Radiance 
artwork, any volunteers?

Among the others ideas discussed, there was the possibility to formalise
our community by starting a "Radiance foundation" (à la Apache
http://www.apache.org/ for example), that is a non-profit/charity
organisation that organises and manages Radiance related projects 
(like further development, setting up a wiki, writing documentation, 
organising workshops and so on ...) and can receive donations:

But this is a different story ...

Ciao!

Francesco
