There is a lot of work to be done here, and lot left to do, but it  
_has_ already been started and there is a pretty good bit of  
information that mostly needs to be restructured but of course could  
also use some editing and fleshing out. Check out these links:

Once there are more fleshed out and structured it will be easy to add  
links to them in the applications.
