[opencms-dev] Wiki for OpenCms documentation

[Joachim Zittmayr]

excellent!
i think the wiki is heading in the right direction...
as we're already a bit too deep into the devel stuff, we might have
forgotten the beginners: so ron's remarks will defintely fit in this
concept!
what do u mean by 'common extension recipes'? just the way how how-to's
are organized, step-by-step? i'm fine with that!
