The aim is to make the public face for the DocProj appear more open and approachable. If you go to you'll see my proposed replacement for I put this together in about an hour and a half last night, so I've undoubtedly missed stuff, or phrased things confusingly. I know that I've repeated some of the information that's available in other places, particularly the Handbook. However, many of the comments I've read have been about how the necessary information isn't all in one place. I know the proper solution is to get all this stuff into the Handbook, but I don't see a long queue of volunteers submitting diffs, so this is, at least, a start. I'd appreciate folks taking a look at this, letting me know what they think. If the overall reaction is positive I'll commit it next week (which should give enough time for any discussion it generates). Feel free to repost this to other lists, if you think it's appropriate.
