It turns out that making it easier for people to do 'X' just isn't a handbook and a printed book - it's community building, communication and inclusiveness. All the ease of use in the world doesn't matter if people don't know about it and don't feel a part of of something. If you want to avoid the community building, then it's just a tool - and you should market it as such. :) -adrian
