I don't know what other people's view on this is but I'd certainly appreciate
it if you could transcribe this to the xorg wiki. It seems the question of
multi-seat comes up quite frequently and having a central location to point
people at would be helpful.

Alternatively, a site on the xorg wiki just linking to various howto's on
multi-seat configurations would be a good thing to have too. Currently, a
search for multiseat does not show anything.
