Wow, I think this will be a very good thing.

I also think that our approaches are complimentary (and should not
interfere).

Two (related) questions:
- In which format will this be written (Wiki, LaTex, plain text, POD,
  HTML, ...) ?
- Will this be put under bioperl-live or will we use a different CVS
  repository (there exists a bioperl-cookbook) ?
