Actually, I'll probably just do a cut and paste job from the wiki for
most questions on launchpad.  I can also provide a link to the
appropriate answer on the wiki.  IMO, it's not a hassle at all.  On
the contrary -- it lowers the barrier to getting newbie questions
answered, which is good for everybody.

Thanks, Peter, for getting this set up!
