Did I miss something? (An email to me?)
Anyway, I'll be happy to help start setting this up, but it's not quite a one
man job, although if someone can provide (or point to) a list of all the
HOWTOs (or all the HOWTOs for which the authors want a TWiki page) I can set
the "stubs" up fairly quickly.
It would also be (I think), helpful and appropriate to have a template for the
pages, I'll take a shot at that later today / tomorrow morning.
PS: It will probably make sense to start with a page for one particular HOWTO
-- anybody want to make a recommendation or volunteer one of theirs as a
"guinea pig"?

Randy Kramer
