This site has *everything* to do with the documentation project,
Robert. It just has not much to do with your particular effort in
that respect.

What futzing? I haven't seen any futzing?
I'm pointing out that we need a new documentation coordinator. How
does this observation slow you down in your task?

Agreed. For someone, that task is going to be being our documentation

ambitious (over ambitious?) tutorial.
My particular bit is a unified meta-data format. And my SGML
packages. And Debian SGML in general.
