OK, so how do we attract more people if not by making the job easier for
them? It's not like there aren't plenty of very clever people here - we
just need to encourage them to chip in - and making the task less
daunting by making *all* the information they need readily available
seems a good start too me.

And heck, we're database people - storing and retrieving the data to do
a job is exactly what we do!
