I think it's a good thing. It's clear that there's a lot of good will
out there but perhaps people don't have time to organise things as we'd
like. Someone working on this for a few months would do wonders.

There are also lots of materials already (like Jason's videos) out there
that could be brought together to make a coherent whole.

In terms of new content, someone with experience copywriting (or with a
decent & well maintained blog, or a history writing conversational
documentation/articles) would be good.

What we need at this point is a doer, not a manager, IMHO.

Cheers,
Dave.
