No objections to that.  We're currently hashing this document out on the wiki:
http://wiki.darcs.net/DarcsWiki/DeveloperGettingStarted
http://wiki.darcs.net/DarcsWiki/CodingStyle

And I've asked Eric to kindly update the motd to mention those
documents as well.

I know you tend to be web browser adverse, but the wiki seems to be a
nice way to collaborate on documentation.  So I hope you don't mind
collaborating there...

Thanks!
