Thanks for editing the text I put in the wiki, which was based on the
XGuide you did earlier.

Overall, I think we should do both:

1) Make the Guide public.

2) Make a smaller public wiki-version special for CGs, with links to the
public guide as needed. Otherwise, data replication will become a pain!
