Ben - but that's ok...literally 99.9% think it's Brian.

Understandable but as far as I can tell there are certain modifications 
that cannot be done with plugins. I think it would be useful to have such a 
page but only link to it from a page that clearly explains that plugins are 
recommended and this level of hacking should only be done by those who 
mostly know what they're doing.....or we just create a seperate WP Hacking 
wiki ;)

We just need a better way for categorizing and tracking these non-official 
code modifications.
