Let me know if the current task - 'pick a doc tool, run it on itself
and one other package, review it' - is a little more concrete.  Btw,
i'm not trying to be funny with the 'argue about policy' task; I
really think that's pretty much what will (needs to) happen, if
anything.

I'd rather the gardeners be a clearinghouse for getting documentation
improvements back to the author.  I think we should only host
documentation if an author has abandoned the package.  That said, a
[EMAIL PROTECTED] address to funnel doc requests / author
interaction might be useful at some point.

The tasks arent supposed to be linear; I think the 'argue about grand
plan' can be worked out as we try stuff - this is lisp after all.

Sweet - any takers for volunteering?  I'd be real interested to hear
someone's take on the SBCL tools and TINAA . . .
