Definitely not.  I think a wiki-like page can be cool and useful. 
I've seen a number of requests for that.  There are benefits to do
this that couldn't be had in a guide like mine.  It's just not my cup
of tea.

Is that the only reason?  If so, I can provide a tarball and you can
just make patches against it.  Of course, you may find that you like a
wiki-like system in preference to what I have or may have other small
reasons for maintaining a separate project (e.g. my current laziness
and lack of updating the guide for a couple months + lack of ability
to get Chris to write the gnome-vfs section like he said he would
*cough*).  I think it's perfectly reasonable to have more than one
guide or tutorial.  Your call.

Looks like a good start.  :-)
