	Admittedly not having read too deep into your propositions, I'd say 
"go for it!" ;-) We're all with our plates rather full at the moment, 
including you with all the great work you've been putting into the 
project, so we're gladly accepting as much help as we can get. I'm in 
the slow process of migrating each doc in our OpenDarwin Wiki to trac 
and thus have realized how outdated they are; any effort to bring them 
up to speed is more than welcomed ;-)

	Thanks again for your invaluable dedication to the project!
