Crude mock-up of the start of a signal identification section of the wiki.

Guidelines, goals, structure, and how to use described here.

Need to put some kind of break here, a line or something, to sep out the Non DATA from DATA


Probably need to put a desription of what is meant by DATA Signals in this area.
