I was too terse in my response; feedback and RFEs are very much
appreciated, I was just trying to enroll you :-)
You are right. There are no corresponding items in issue tracker. Our
bad. It's obviously one of the things to do and I should have done them
before.
I'm trying to free some of my time to advance some of these projects.
Let me check with Sridatta and Dhiru about what subcategories would be
most appropriate - so they don't step in the final push for GFv2beta 3.
In the meantime, what do you think about hosting a documentation meeting
online, say via IRC or skype? We could agree to meet once, see how it
goes, perhaps do it weekly? would you be willing to attend?
Thanks,
