I have repeatedly asked you to put together a list of what's not
working, but all I hear is "it's not working". I know there are issues,
specifically with tags that can get in that are not allowed. But nobody
has told me *what* tags those are, and usually when I do something in it
I don't get exposed to them, so I just don't know. As long as I don't
know what to fix, it's kinda hard to fix it.

The new techdocs stuff took a couple of weeks, once I started on it.
What took time was the discussion wether we should hvae a wiki, or move
to a non-custom CMS, or whatever. Coding took a couple of weeks, and
that was coding *only* in a couple of spare hours now and then in the
evenings.

That's a good point, though.
