Now, now - let's not get TOO nasty. Actually, I strongly
believe that everyone should take Gerhard at his word when he
says that suggestions are welcome, and comb over his FAQ
for errors and omissions. But CC me, too, of course, if you
come up with anything. ;-) I think I caught most of his errors
when I first went through his stuff, but I might have missed some-
thing.

You mean, like the KEITAI-L FAQ itself? :-( I'm in despair over
that. The GigaHz list is fun, translating it is good practice, the
technology information is....well, at least at a level with KEITAI-L,
from what I can tell. And I don't really need to coordinate
anything, nor do I need much in the way of tools. I'm a couple
weeks behind current contributions, but I think I'm going to
catch up pretty fast.
The FAQ has bogged down because we still have a rather
crude and unwieldy framework, becauseI haven't been doing a
good job as a coordinator, AND because I don't really know
enough to contribute very much myself. Others who signed up
to help are much busier than I am with their own (paid) work.
I looking at how to throw FAQ development open to more
contributors. More news soon, I promise.
