I went and changed this page to be edited by a roque user: http:// 
scratch.drupal.org/node/35172

http://scratch.drupal.org/handbook/updates

I'll probably be one of the people looking at the recent updates.   
The first thing I'll look for is the user name of the updater.  Could  
we get the editor name on that page?

I see there is an approved column on the recent updates.  What does  
this column mean?

Thanks,
Kieran
