I have an idea.

When you install BackupPC you get a copy of the documentation with it.  When 
browsing the web interface, all configuration variables are hyperlinks to the 
documentation explaining what the variable does.

I suggest the same for Racktables.  On each feature, tab, or page, hyperlink 
to the wiki.  Do this even if the wiki page doesn't yet exist.  A number of us 
happy-but-slightly-frustrated users will fill them in.

Alternatively, dump the wiki with each release and distribute that so the 
documentation is accurate for that release.  But that takes effort and at 
least the direct-to-wiki solution is progress that can be done in parallel 
(IE, Denis doesn't have to do it).  It's also a good reminder to upgrade.  And 
it is easy to put "As of version x" at the top of the page.

Regards,
Tyler
