A humble suggestion: move it NOW. It will never 'be ready', and that's just
the wiki way: put it in early, mark it at the top as a stub (so we don't
falsely claim it to be in great shape when it isn't), and let it be improved
in-place.
The trac wiki should be for developers to work on pure development things, and
it requires an SVN login (well, it doesn't right now, but this should be
changed ASAP: spammers WILL show up sooner or later, and they will destroy the
wiki. They did it to Enthought's and to IPython's in the past, they will also
do it here; it's just a matter of time, and the cleanup later will be more
work than running trac-admin now and closing wiki edit permissions for
anonymous users).
The public wiki is where this content should be: a non-developer can do a
perfectly good job of contributing content here, so there's no reason to keep
this material in the dev wiki.
Cheers,
