Ian, if you might lend me a helping hand to get things started, I am 
happy to write something up.
In terms of documentation - are you thinking about a specific man page 
and if so, what would I need to get that started? Or would it be a 
simple text file for /usr/share/doc? In any case, I'd actually prefer 
those options over a wiki as either of the former would automatically be 
delivered with every xen installation and therefore readily available to 
the user-base. Furthermore I have never myself created any webpages so 
far ... (I know, shame on me ...)
There is one caveat though: I currently only use XEN 4.3 which does not 
support the prepended file to the initramfs yet. Therefore it might make 
sense to postpone this until XEN 4.4 is considered stable by Gentoo and 
I am up and running with this version. What are your thoughts on this?
