    1. 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...
Thanks,
