http://live.gnome.org/PowerUserTools for short-term doc- please,
everyone, go over there and add the power user tools you know of.
Ideally, someone should take this up as a project and make it be
something less like a list on a webpage and more like a project.

Seems like there is a lot of overlap that draws developers in different
directions. I'd like to be a bit more fine-grained than the above
topics. Perhaps having everyone start as a single group, try to identify
problem areas, and then split up into manageable groups, with
experienced people leading them.

Discuss. Otherwise we'll just be twiddling our thumbs for an hour, or
heckling Luis at the marketing session ;)
