Yes, you are welcome -- even encouraged! -- to join in and start editing the Wiki. I don't object to looking at the broader ecosystem, as long as we don't get bogged down in minutae. Your post demonstrates admirable initiative and humility, so as long as you keep that up we'll be fine. :-) Best, - Ernie P.
