For folks interested in 2.2.2, I created an empty Wiki available at
http://manatee.mojam.com/py222wiki/
I did *nothing* other than set it up. I don't know how people want to use the Wiki. Feel free to organize it any way you want, or give me some clues and I'll take a crack at a top-level structure.
Michael McLay had suggested:

What are the classification types he referred to?

I suppose he was referring to this (from my initial 2.2.2 post last Friday):
Basically, someone does the tedious part of triage, which means going over *every* 2.3 checkin message (with quick access to the corresponding diffs) and sorting them into:
- already applied
- trivial reject (e.g. new feature or fix for a bug introduced in 2.3)
- trivial accept (pure bugfix that applies cleanly to 2.2)
- messy (e.g. unclear whether it's a bugfix or a feature even after staring at the source, bugfixes that affect binary compatibility, bugfixes that can only be applied with much code wrangling due to other changes in the code at the same place, etc.)
Feel free to compile a list of "messy" ones and send it to python-dev. It doesn't have to be all at once -- for big messy ones a separate python-dev discussion may be appropriate.

Okay, I created blank WikiNames for those categories. Kevin Jacobs added a bunch of bugs to the front page. Now would probably be a good time for people to jump in and review those bugs, then move them to the appropriate classification page.
