You know, I checked that box (hah, after writing all of one page ;), and 
it never showed up.  I was sad.  ^.^

My personal opinion is there needs to be a leader, and it probably 
shouldn't be Dries.  A sub-commander type.  Someone who listens to all 
the things going around, and in the end says, let's go this way.  
Obviously, Dries is the leader of the whole project, and if he feels 
it's going the wrong way, I'm sure he can say something about it, but 
structurally, someone to coordinate and direct the efforts would be nice.

As was pointed out recently in the forums, there is not a lack of people 
who want to write documentation.

Hm.  The one page I wrote showed up fairly quickly, so I thought perhaps 
it bypassed the queue, but perhaps it was just approved quickly?

Hm.  I want one!  ^.^

You can add that to the wiki.  ;)

Maybe I should replace my ACO sig with it. ^.^

90%?  I hope you're not just looking at the links...  I put in back 
links for a lot of them, just to make it easier to edit later.  No 
helptext at all.  Last I checked it was more like half.  I'd help more, 
but, my site is broken.  ^.^
