I think as long as you don't plan to provide code (except of some
scripts, maybe), new packages or pre-packaged VMs/live-CDs/appliances, a
wiki page will be more than enough. Maybe move it to the official Gentoo
docs once it has matured.

BTW: Please don't top-post. Put your answers below the text you are
quoting. That makes reading longer threads easier.
