yes, it's pretty much the same. The code for the page is here, so your 
patches should be against it:

definitely the mailing list scope goes further from the code only.

About the documentation in general, we will have to agree in some better 
and cleaner way how to do so, but we basically have the wiki, the 
spec/main.tex file and the huge TODO that Kristian maintains with random 
development notes. The wiki is going towards more a presentation of 
what's actually Wayland and also for users that want try, while the 
other means are target for developers.
