Thank you for your answers.
I've browsed the pdf's and they look quite good. Guess I missed them
since they was labelled interbase 6.0 (thought that they were
outdated).

I'll make you a deal =) If you create a documentation wiki, I'll write
a universal migration guide in it. Wikis are an excellent
documentation tool, because it's way simpler for users like me to
actually contribute with something. And it's more probable that the
documentation will be up to date since it's easier for users to change
the documentation.

DokuWiki is a really nice wiki system.

Yeah, it's really hard to make good documentation.
