I've added some notes to the contributor page on the Wiki:

http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/ContributingToMercurialWiki

By all means edit what I've written. I've not really written anything 
more than the basics: other Wikis tend to have policies which discourage 
people from just setting up homepages and nothing else, such as the 
Python Wiki where administrators tend to look to see if someone has any 
Python-related content on their page or if they've edited and signed 
some page, and the MoinMoin Wiki where administrators are quite active 
in tidying up new pages if they don't seem to add anything pertinent to 
the site.

P.S. I'm sure lots of people at Microsoft don't like Vista, either. ;-)
