Good! I have a couple of comments to some of your edits:

1. I replaced stubs with information about fVDI and ARAnyM with direct
links to the web-sites for these projects. I have not deleted the stubs
so the changes can easily be reverted, but how does people feel about
adding articles about other projects to this wiki? Personally I don't
like it very much, as these can easily be outdated. A link directly to
the source is better.

2. Moved the "other CVS projects" list to a new article under
"resources". However, I'm not sure if all of this should be in this wiki
at all. There is login/checkout-information for each of these (many)
projects, which means that this article can very easily be outdated.
It's probably better to just have links to the projects' websites.

Well, much of the stuff I added are simply outlines of future contents.
E.g. the user manual is very, very incomplete. I hope you guys can help
me fill out the missing stuff. I simply have a lot less time than
expected. Also, I've been sidetracked by some 8-bit projects and a
vintage motorcycle I recently aquired :-)

Replacing the current SpareMiNT main page with the wiki was my intention
all along :-) However, current Atari browsers are not capable of
displaying MediaWiki-sites, and I feel it's important to be able to
browse the SpareMiNT pages with a computer running FreeMiNT... So for
now I'd say that the best solution is to keep (and update if anybody has
the time for that) the current front page but add a link to the wiki.
