Unlike my clients (who love programs like ACT! and Outlook with reasons
I can't even begin to understand), I will happily be involved in this
regardless of the chosen language for the documentation (as long as no
one suggests Word....suggest Word and I will inflict the hell of FoxPro
upon you!)

If we need a maintainer, I'll put my hand up for that task. I'm
currently doing my second-last year of a BSc/BE(Software) and have a
little experience in taking care of team projects.
