I wasn't sure how to edit the wiki on the sourceforge site either...
in any case, I think it would be useful to have a link to it, right next to the download link to the ubuntu packages.

Ok, when I wrote the instructions, I think there was just artfwo's packages, and the instructions are basically a summary of what it says on his blog, after going through all of the comments too.
So, yes it may be outdated :)

This wasn't the case back then. In fact there were a few issues back then, which may have been solved by now (like you couldn't do this systemwide; this was an ubuntu - vim issue).
