Thank you,

I've merged the changes and completed DETAILS reference[0].

Also current status is:

- There are 70 pages left to inspect/transfer
- 50 of them are related to Cauldron and its development including Old
section of Cauldron Team pages with outdated data
- 20 other pages are about sorcery unit tests, coding conventions, etc.
-- some of them are already on standards section[1] I've finished today

Along with that I transfered your workflow example with quill and git
with some corrections[2].

Other interesting changes include:

- update of our policy page: I added note about probst function which
is used to generate/verify vote hashes[3], so new users will be able to
know where to look -- huge thanks to Seth Woolley
- primary docs page[4] has been heavily extended
- detailed description for sorcery feature menu[5]
- distributed compilation description and cross install guide[6]
- INSTALL_ROOT and friends are easy to access now[7] -- thanks to
Andrew Stitt

And the final heavy change is about grimoire release process[8].
I've re-arranged it a bit and created new template[9] layout which
avoids duplicate data between releases (i.e. how-to-test was moved to
release guide). Also the spell-list for testing is updated now -- it's
based on the latest 0.61 chroot image excluding several extra spells
not really needed for testing basesystem image (for example, those
which add extra non-critical functionaly like ACPI daemon) totalling
111 spells. So now stable grimoire release template is more clear.

Feel free to comment on the overall changes!
