I agree with Jean-Philippe here, the best we'll ever be able to do is
give "<your-project-name-here>@foo.savannah.org" style instructions.

Cut'n'pastable instructions are nice, but not at the expense of generic
support for all.

I actually /really/ hate the way the sourceforge docs have been done,
which is our starting point.  Trying to edit text and PHP in the same
place is a PITA to say the least.

This implies, assuming enough people agree, either a database, or
DocBook. Sadly I think DocBook is probably the better of the two as it's
eminently more CVSable.

Incidently, my current contribution is effectively zero :)
