Craig,

I know what you mean about not wanting to duplicate efforts, etc, as 
well as your earlier point about this time of year not being conducive 
to getting much done.  I think part of the problem is that we (the 
non-dev listmembers) are probably waiting for someone (like Ye Olde 
Grande WordPress PooBah) to say, Craig, do this, Cena do that.  However, 
I think that as 'regular users' we're in a better position sometimes to 
tell what needs documenting.  (The downside of this is that sometimes I 
may know that I personally could use more documentation on subject X, 
but not have enough knowledge to write it myself.)  The index helps a 
little in that you can quickly scan through and see what topics have 
already been addressed in the forums, but the index itself is becoming 
somewhat unwieldly (it's at 7 (single-spaced!) pages as of today..might 
need an index of the index! :))

Okay, I'm rambling.  Maybe we could just say, hey, I"m gonna work on 
project X, and send it in when you're done.  For example, Craig, you 
seem to be doing a lot in the forums on CSS; maybe you could write up a 
dissection of wp-layout.css .  I know that I for one would find that 
kind of thing very useful.

I think I'll start working on a 'common install errors' faq next.

Cena
