While I don't disagree with your comments,
I would be much more enthusiastic about this document.
I did use the word "commendable" in there somewhere... ;-) These days,
I usually withhold my more blatant and gushing enthusiasm until such
time as additional folks step up to help whip these documents into
fighting shape. Looking at our contributor list[1], I see a lot of
names that popped up for roughly five minutes on the mailing list and
then were never seen again.
Would you be interested in joining in the effort[2]? Your enthusiasm
could be contagious if followed up with some elbow grease! :-)
