Er, I don't think that one is based on the old workgroup.  DCR is only
applicable to PowerPC 4xx devices, and those have never had open firmware.

That sounds good, but I have one suggestion.  Use the wiki for
submission and discussion of new binding proposals, but once they
are agreed upon put them in a static webpage somewhere until they
are incorporated into the next ePAPR revision.  Wikis are awesome
for changing stuff, but you don't want people to go back and change
a binding that has already been approved (for whatever definition
of approved we come up with.)

Also, you might want to have some kind of Licensing or copyright
assignment for all wiki contributions.  Talk to your legal team or
the power.org legal team about that if you haven't already.
