Who should the wiki content `regulators' be (i.e. project-only folks, outside folks, etc)? Anyone can sign up for an account and because the information reflects on the project, it would be best (IMO) if `proposals' // `tasks' were vetted by someone in the project with sufficient say to prioritize the item. 2. Would it be a good idea to also provide a list of tasks that are non-coding related (or at least have a smaller scope) so that others could assist with in the project to help free up resources? For instance, some folks (like linimon@) really need a junior person (I've debated whether or not I should do it, but I don't want to assume too much responsibility) to do semi-menial tasks like bug triage, feedback, basic administration items, etc to free up Mark's time. That way it would allow someone with less background and exposure to the project to become more integrated with the project, outside of doing an SoC project for instance. Just curious...
