Nod. However, would the wiki page rewrite be an important task before
the elections ? The rewrite draft was sent to this list to ensure that
all new members have a quick update on what's the deal :) However, I
will (on Monday/Tuesday my time) put the content and re-organize the
top level wiki page for the Membership Committee. Need to learn Moin
again (fiddling with Trac seems to have made me forget Moin syntax)

You need to be looking at the foundation-list archives from the period
of September till November each year to assess the questions.
Generally though the questions don't seem to change - more of open
ended questions trying to get the candidates to put their "vision" of
GNOME so that the voters/members can align with them and see if those
are achievable. Note: we need to come up with some technical questions
too - the draft set from mine are pretty strategy oriented and not
technical eg. we have no OOXML question in there :)

Umm...the candidates for this year's elections - they have not been
announced have they ?

If you need any help, just holler out on this mailing list and I'll chip in.
