I think we should coordinate the work of adding content to the wiki.
There are two broad categories of content to add: a) stuff of general
interest and b) summaries of the mailing list discussions. The first
step is listing what should be added, the second is to actually add the
content.
Also, we should think about how content will be added in future. One
possibility would be that the starter of a discussion coordinates the
adding of content when he feels the discussion is over.

To make a beginning with the first step:

content of general interest:
  o Why don't we want Mach?
  o Why don't we want pistachio?
  o What is a capability?
  o What is a constructor? [see: The EROS constructor]
  o <more to come>

summaries of mailing list discussions
  o The confinement question
  o The deadly hypercube of death
  o Reliability of RPC services [done?]
  o SSH revised
  o What's in a group
  o DogCows or Polymorphism in the Hurd [the polycast interface]
  o Shared "system" libraries
  o On PATH_MAX
  o Summary comparison table: COPY/REVOKABLE-COPY
  o setuid vs. EROS constructor
  o Hurdish applications for persistence
  o <more to come>
