Well, I can create source tarball somewhat in advance and make it
available immediately after it is created.  Also, I can make
binary tarball available before it becomes official.  OTOH
longer delay or multiple restarts would be quite inconvenient
for me.

Well, at:

http://www.math.uni.wroc.pl/~hebisch/fricas/install.rst

I have edited version of install.rst including new section
'Included hunchentoot'.  There is also uptade to info about
GCL.

That is valuable, but somewhat different than wiki.
