I think ultimately it needs some one to organise it, which is
the root cause of the problem. I am afraid that I am not volunteering
here as I don't have the time. And I haven't just JDEBug yet which is
what a lot of the questions relate to at the moment. If someone wants
to chop the problems up into logical sections though, I would be happy
to maintain one part of it. I could do a reasonable job on basic
editing questions, and the jde-help package. If other people would
like to volunteer for other bits then we could get it off the
ground. Split up like this is probably would not be too much work for
anyone person.
