I have to heartily second all your email. Based on my personal 
experience, when I got my FR, this is clearly the most crucial aspect to 
be fixed.

At that time I considered to do some changes in the Wiki but I was 
deterred by:

1- the fact that someone had "locked" (with a banner msg) the page for 
editing
2- there were a lot of changes to be done, beyond my little free time,
3- I was not yet confident on my understanding of FR/Om2008.*
4- OM2008.12 was still too annoying to be able to do something 
effective/useful just by writing on the Wiki.

improved since I'm using an older SHR unstable release.
