Yep, that's good. Thank you for working on it.

Anyone working on the GAR docs right now? If not and you guys don't mind i
would revamp the Wiki a bit so that is easier for GAR beginners to find
the information they are looking for.

Specifically i though about two things: 1) Reordering stuff on the main
page and adding some descriptions so that you better know what a topic is
about. 2) Adding a _brief_ quickstart HOWTO for using GAR (reusing some
info from the Tutorial).

I don't think everything needs to be 100% perfect. When people start
working with GAR now they can easily pick up improvements in upstream
watch et al. later.
