Looks like a lot of work - well done! It's good to see the WC wiki being used to share this kind of stuff.

This is a great contribution. It's going to make it easier for people to get started, so we will all benefit from that.

Are you going to turn it into a PDF when you are finished?

I've never done one myself, but I know it can be done with OpenOffice or something like Primo, both of which are free. Otherwise, Adobe Acrobat (I think) would be necessary.
