The problem I see is that I am just about the only person active right now and I am tired of putting fourth the effort to draw people in and in better than 80% of cases nothing comes of it.

We need to be able to attract experienced technical writers that can guide volunteers. > Should you wish to try it, let us know and we'll look into what's neede= d > to give you (Keith, or other active volunteers who want to take care of= > this) the necessary privileges. >=20 > Regards, > Andrea. --rJFtLJvIkIJg553ctUAU0Fe5OESeImHEr Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJTLc6GAAoJEH0fu5UhGmBCtcYH/1rLu7yxk2ZA4azTf4Yi77Zx U/J3rr7iIZp70aS5z3eoHbBYqMNMw26/3RVXrL+Zteo/ae4SODmGkNG+oTa876uq /ujohQrTnnb2ZpGa+MBXHLdIA5ZZMBZh9C2OU7mf3DMHHO1oDKnhs5nZ+Vh/FQoa 6c0rbcZNw8YElcd3i43/wgiEe1902RNbH6eIjWR6TUy9HnkEfTAjXHmOTuKv6FgE v+S3rjbIU4C6TuDs87aWCB01xIt+hO64EX9uAVzfRps8L7nRs4GUsf/54BRWXJYD Vq3jJ0IsBUJlAbwuigpPToXSfSCZK0HSIB4qSQZVOXkD1CeRjzaLxdbksikUn3E= =oj6r -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --rJFtLJvIkIJg553ctUAU0Fe5OESeImHEr--
