I think the wiki that already exists could be quite a resource for a programming guide for beginners. It would take some effort of each of the members that has a particular radio, but it could - and likely should - be done

The real power becomes evident if each model number that's found in the front page becomes a link to that radio's page. Those of you familiar with the RadioReference wiki know how easy it then becomes to look up a particular model.
Anything that's common to all radios could simply point to that page - for example the model support page could be a 'common' page for each radio so that someone can quickly look up what features for that radio could be programmed.
I'm unfamiliar with Redmine, but if I could build the listings (by radio) then someone can change the listing to Redmine's language, and we'd be on our way.
I think this is a great idea. More documentation is almost always a good thing, and the Redmine wiki is a good place to put it.
The model list on the homepage is here: http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Supported_Radios
To make those radio models link to wiki pages, just edit the page and add double brackets around the model name, like [[TM-D710]]. Easy wiki stuff.
If you need wiki editing privileges, just let Dan know your Redmine username.
