I do want to emphasize one point -- I think we're doing OK getting
newbies to work on the "edges" of the code. What I am concerned about
and want to encourage is for people who aren't experts to find ways to
start working on the "core" technology.
Doing design documentation is a good idea, but it's a lot of overhead,
and I'm not confident it's going to happen. That's why I proposed the
"buddy" system -- it's more incremental and on-demand.
