I like the javascript interface for generating configuration 
information, that is key to helping people roll out shibboleth who are 
new to it. As for the frames, my personal preference is to avoid them 
and use server side includes instead to provide some kind of common 
navigation bar.
Wiki's are nice for some things (and shibboleth has one 
https://authdev.it.ohio-state.edu/twiki/bin/view/Shibboleth ) but I 
don't really see the need to have the documentation as a wiki. After its 
initial "shake out" it should be a pretty stable document with few 
changes. Having a single editor to run those changes through is 
preferable to having an entire community have a go at it.
