Hey Adrian, 
So how should we go about doing these improvements?  I remember a mail(or 
maybe blog) from you some days ago on what is appropriate for inclusion into 
techbase. 
The wiki being what it is invites random edits so I'm assuming that this page 
is OK to edit to our whims. What happens in the event of editing that another 
page needs creating? Do we add it to techbase or to wiki.kde.org for cleanup 
and _then_ move to techbase?

There goes my bright idea :-)
