[Opensim-dev] Core Documenters

[diva at metaverseink.com]

Thanks!
The first step is on the camp of core devs. We must create a Table of 
Contents, and write a few paragraphs in each article explaining what 
it's supposed to be.

My model is that this effort will start as soon as 0.7 gets tagged, so 
within the next month. But if someone beats me to the TOC, the effort 
can start earlier.
