[freeside] initial config saves some of the values?

Ivan et al.,

An awful lot of exchanges have gone like this on this mailing list:

1> Question which has already been addressed or which is not directly  
related to Freeside.
2> Answer noting that the question has already been addressed and/or is  
not part of FS.
1> Request that such a thing be added to docs / FAQ.
2> Curt reply that person 1 should write such docs / FAQ himself.
1> [no action, person 1 drops off face of earth]

For better or for worse, asking one individual to write things up seems  
to scare off 99% of people.  Since that doesn't get us any closer to  
having a strong documentation set, perhaps we could lower the barrier  
to entry by putting a Wiki or such up, upon which an FAQ and a  
User-contributed documentation project could be started.  That way, the  
reply in the exchange above could be:

2> Reply that person 1 add this particular issue to the FAQ; see  
sisd.com/freeside/wiki/faq.

Postgres already uses a Wiki on their Techdocs site, with some success  
(of course, their FAQs and manuals have "official" maintainers, but  
they are a huge project).

My personal server is going to be moved around in the next couple  
months so it's not a good place to host one right now, but if sisd.com  
doesn't want a Wiki up, perhaps I could get my company to host.

Thoughts?

Best,

Randall
