I wonder why people don't use the Wiki for writing guides and faq's? Its much easier to keep the wiki updated and correct - I think the ICS threads with almost 600 pages makes it very hard to keep track of issues and fixes.

I created this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Motorola_Defy/ICS_status

I will fill in my findings, but I typically don't upgrade very often (Just updatede from 2904 to Quarkx 0805 v2 on my defy+) and just use it as my daily phone. My use mostly centers around email, Calender, browsing, twitter.

Well yeah, I did not add much, so dident take long to create the page, hehe - Its real easy to add/change/update the wiki and you can always roll changes back if someone messes up. So there is no reason not to add stuff to the wiki, you can't destroy it -And I think its Better on the wiki than in the dev threads . I just dont have time to write much for the time being...
But will be updating stuff I figure out on the build Im using (currently Quarx 0805V2 Defy+)

Updated the wiki a bit more.
But I feel stupid, as I am just entering information from the threads.
Would like to get the hwui entries in build.prop described. I.e. what separator do you use between apps? Some say , some say . some say _ ?
If you know. Just edit the page :) - Don't worry too much if your english is not the best (neither is mine), just be prepared to have it corrected..
A wiki really works best when several people are editing.

I added a line remembering that you must install chainfire 3D and a shader to make Opera work in the build.prop editing tutorial (only on epsylon 08-05 build, which is the latest for green lens), i hope its ok... Thanks for your effort. :)
