Interesting starting points:
RecentChanges: see where people are currently working
WikiSandBox: feel free to change this page and experiment with editing
FindPage: search or browse the database in various ways
SyntaxReference: quick access to wiki syntax
SiteNavigation: get an overview over this site and what it contains
It would be nice to have a summary of the top N distributed version control systems, with some tips to help a programmer choose the best one for her situation. ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_revision_control_software#Software_using_a_distributed_approach Wikipedia lists over a dozen distributed control systems]). Perhaps use http://lwn.net/Articles/151624/ as a starting point for a quick paraphrase and summary, then fill in other systems and details as we think of them? What to call that summary -- PickingYourVersionControlSystem ?
Is it possible to make a NeutralInterface ?
