In the press

I will volunteer a few hours each week towards this. 
Editing, cleanup, moving content, updating content, organization,
etc.....
I'm in. 
John Reese or Torfinn are you 2 also volunteering? That would make 3.
Who else? We need a list of names so we can start firing this project
up. 
I bought this phone for the specific purpose of what is happening right
now with this list, and where it will take the phone :)
Cheers
I use trillian but here is my info, feel free to add me "IF" you are
interested in this part of the project :)

This sounds like a good idea. I'm certainly willing to put my time in 
to clean things up. I've been doing some of it already when I come 
across things that either aren't clear or aren't linked well.
If we could gather a team of four, maybe five/six, community members, 
and devise/discuss a plan to organize and clean up the wiki, and then 
get everyone in the mailing lists, IRC, etc to promote and encourage use
and modifying the wiki, I think it would go a very long way.
