I can volunteer for this.  I'm hoping everyone else who has responded is
still interesting in doing lots of stuff to help out. :-)

you listed.  :-)

Hopefully we can get lots of people out there who are willing to do a UI
Review to save us.  I'm aiming to put up more explicit instructions,
help and lots of examples on doing a UI Review, this has been on my long

usability channel in IRC.

Ugh, I'll be starting work on this at the end of the week when final
exams are over with.  I know our GUP UI Review page[1] needs some love
as well.
