I think this is a great idea. More documentation is almost always a
good thing, and the Redmine wiki is a good place to put it.

The model list on the homepage is here:
http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Supported_Radios

To make those radio models link to wiki pages, just edit the page and
add double brackets around the model name, like [[TM-D710]]. Easy wiki
stuff.

If you need wiki editing privileges, just let Dan know your Redmine username.
