hi --

i've created http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Power_Management_Overview as
a central place for finding power management pages.

there's a link there to "XO Power Draw" which describes an older
set of tools for doing power measurement.  

how about if you create a new, similar, page, called something like
"Collecting XO power logs", and and richard or i can then expand that
page with more info about the on-board logger (and probably eventually
give the page a more generic name.)

(i'm also planning a page devoted to powerd, which is sorely lacking
at the moment.)
