+1 for this idea. There have been several times where I've pointed
somebody to a uF specification page to give them an overview and they
just come back claiming that the page didn't really tell them
anything... or worse, it confused them.

The page should be a short introduction and shouldn't overwhelm the
reader. Perhaps a 1-2 paragraph introduction, a very simple example, and
links to other wiki pages at the bottom with more information.
