Agree, but as a simple sheet of DB structure. I don't know if it possible to
do easily with wiki.

My first proposal to Marcel by IRC is to make an OpenOffice sheet (:=))).

To resume : I would to have a document where we can found what is stored in
DB, including full description of each field. Like we will host a lots of
informations, this is important for the future...
