What's the prevailing thought on a wiki (presumably one
set up like the glibc one, by invite only, to avoid spammers)?
I found various posts on this list over the years, but no
obvious interest.

That file is not very easily discovered (despite the FAQ entry
that explains that convention).   Can you add a link to
an static index of all those files from http://cygwin.com/docs.html ?
That might make googling
  openssh server cygwin
more likely to find it.

Hrmph, just found http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net/
That just seems wrong...
