*tap tap* Is this thing on? :)

I'd like to help out with docs and such, if possible?

Best,

That would be great.  Any ideas about what you'd like to work on?

Be damned.  I don't get a monthly reminder on this list, I don't think,
Barry.

Hmmm.

Clearly, I need to find a good coder to help me with this idea I have
to writing a bot to extract DocBook documentation source files *back
out* of a MediaWiki.  It's The Coming Thing.

Hey.  Barry.  *You're* a python programmer.  :-)

Cheers,

I'll have to pay attention on the next Mailman Day (tm).  I don't  
remember seeing one either, but I mostly ignore them.  And the list / 
is/ set to send them.

It's definitely a cool idea.  Let me know when you've got that  
venture capital lined up so I can quit my job to work on it. :)  But  
it really is a good idea!

Actually, I'd kind of like to work on the stuff displayed to the end
users/list admins? It's sort of documentation, right? :) Helping with
the online help stuff?

I can't tell you how many times I've had to hold hands for users and
admins on my server, because they don't speak "geekese". Would there be
an interest in this?

Best,
--Glenn
