The materials I found most helpful in the wiki were the step-by-step 
examples.  Some general information about ease of installation given the 
appropriate distribution could be helpful as well, since I'm going to 
guess others like myself were scared away in the past by the need to 
compile your own kernel and whatnot.  Obviously that's not necessarily 
the case in many situations, but I think there is a perception that Xen 
is difficult to get running.  I first really dug into it last year to 
virtualize my MythTV system (complete with capture cards) and other 
environments (web apps, e-mail).  I ended up bailing out after a few 
months due disk corruption issues that I couldn't resolve but have been 
paying close attention to this list and the project hoping that 4.3 and 
a newer distribution can resolve my previous headaches.
