The idea behind the project is not to provide simple how-to's - it is to provide people with ready-to-use code snippets, or quick-guides on how to achieve certain (usually computer-related) things very fast, sometimes by doing a simple copy-and-paste. I personally am actually more interested in the computer side (i.e. copy-paste, etc.), but I am more than sure that wiki users will be able to make a lot from it.

Seems like a good idea, but Wikibooks seems to cover your idea at their How-To bookshelf.
