We've been discussing something very much like this occasionally over
the past couple weeks - in particular, how we could contribute useful
information and applications to the community. At this point, my main
concern is that I know so little that I am almost certain to give out
incomplete information. Or, much worse, flat out wrong information which
would be worse than no information at all.

Having said that, here is my initial contribution. 

http://gnuradio.org/trac/wiki/ApplicationProgramInterfaces

I'm not terribly fond of the layout, but don't know how much control I
can actually exercise over it (or how much effort would be involved)
