overwhelming and ultimately boring, not to mention not a great use of our developer resources[1] if we had alternate sources of manpower to tap. a monetary investment and proper stewardship could do wonders here. it may even be the difference between "that's a great concept" and "we've got an implementation of that great concept". [1] i assume, given the limited number of technical writers with knowledge of this domain currently in the community, that the bulk of the effort would inevitably fall upon the shoulders of developers even as it tends to now. -- Aaron J.
