Sure it's possible. But I'm not sure it's feasible. See below.

Well, all the information is at the website. As you mention, it's in more that one article. Each article deals with a specific task. I'm not sure that combining them into one article makes sense. However, what I think you are looking for is what someone else [sorry, can't remember the name] called a recipe book. That's a set of instructions to create a specific type of machine (gateway, workstation, etc). I figure you want a document which shows you which documents you need to achieve a particular objective. By itself, I think this is a good idea. Quite useful And not very difficult to put together given that the main articles already exist. What do you think?
