It's going to take a metric buttload of work for me to navigate the
whole process, in particular figuring out everything the site
instructions don't tell me. If I'm going to do that work, I'm going to
do it seriously, which means not just to fix an old SDK sample. I need
to get more bang for my proverbial buck, so to speak.

Besides, writing an Android book isn't as big a hurdle for me as it
might be for most people. :-)

That being said, if there's anyone reading this thread that is
contributing to Android through the public process, who wouldn't mind me
kibitzing a bit, drop me a line.

Should we file a bug report, then, for the List8.java SDK sample? That
*was* the context of this discussion.

I don't think that was the case. I think the example is just sub-optimal.
