Since there's obviously interest in this project, it's time to kick it off 
properly -- with an outline that we can use to guide our efforts and to 
delegate work to. Following is my concept of how the outline of the finished 
document should look; please send revisions as you see fit.

This is obviously still rough, it's mainly off the top of my head. Hopefully 
it's a good starting point, though...
