As I said, I'm not sure you can physically do wireless at the Nokia 
site, but you're welcome to try. :-)

I can help with CVS and Subversion.  You would need to do both, as CVS 
still has a larger following at this point, or so it seems to me.  I 
already have some "quick guides" done, in addition to the "quick start" 
papers already available on the web.

I'm sure there are people who can do the other missing topics.  I also 
suspect they are like me, you can't be in a hurry as I have limited 
time, but we can get you there.
