But on the other had, by having people other than the developers use it,
more bugs get worked out, more ideas generated, etc...

I know I've been guilty of asking a few dumb questions,  and some of them

And some of them have been because following the FAQ info didn't work -
mostly because of cvs not grabbing directories corretly.
