Jesse, I had read it and I think it's a good RFP.  Kudos to all 
involved.  My point was to address Steve's request for "any one person 
in the dev community".  It seemed to me that the release managers are 
one of the most important content producers today on the web site so 
perhaps one of them should be considered as that representative.  But 
perhaps I misunderstand what Steve was suggesting.
