Suggestion 1 was: More docs to help people what to do when developing an 
addition.
Suggestion 2 was: Create a private OID space in the wiki, which people could
just register some OIDs for alpha/beta publishing of their extension.

I believe Alain already added some docs.
I slightly improved the wiki in that an OID search will be found now
(Actualy Hamish did the technical change, I just hit the problem.)
