I agree.  And, of course, I would like to see it more accurately reflect
what things are actually high priority... maybe a few specific projects
with of course target deadlines.. like docs for the 3.2 OOo release etc.

I know that problem :-)  It soon becomes a toss-up which is more work..
fixing the docs, or maintaining the list.

Exactly.  What other methods do we have in place... the OOoAuthors
process comes to mind.  I don't know the process used there well enough
to put any guidelines on the Contributor's 101 page.  I am assuming that
the processes in place there are best suited to larger projects... ie
more than one page docs, especially the guides.

This brings up another question... how do we ensure that the Wiki edits
get back to the larger "master" docs - if any are being maintained in
the OOoAuthors process?
