[freeside] initial config saves some of the values?

[Randall Lucas]

Ivan,

Cool.  I think it would really jumpstart the process of 
user-contributed documentation; when the time is right, perhaps it 
could be edited into a more "formal" document.

I agree that the MixedCaps style isn't best for a later-to-be-published 
document; happily, there are Wikis that can be configured differently.  
I'll check into a few Wiki packages and recommend one or two for you to 
choose from.

Best,

Randall
