Hmmm. I hadn't considered that. If the number of suggestions becomes excessive
— that is, if we actually do get suggestions for every missing explanation or
improvements to the existing ones — this would quickly turn into a problem.

OTOH, having these suggestions here allows peer review by a wider audience
(and avoids Yet Another Mailinglist).


Given a) the address can be changed fairly quickly, and b) we hope to «fill in
the blanks» sufficiently that the «Help Wanted» boxes are mostly gone by the
time we release this into production; do you think we could live with getting
them here for the time beeing? If the volume increases significantly we'll of
course have to reconsider, but unless I hear objections I think I'm inclined
to leave them here for now. Does that sound ok, Kynn?
