This is /all/ exactly what I want as well - all I'm saying is that we
should build on our existing infrastructure and hard work and include it
as part of the community section of the main website. I've made a point
of saying that I agree with having an easy to use interface for users to
submit text with the caveats that a) it's validated, b) it's moderated
and c) our first priority should be getting techdocs replaced, and
*then* adding the end user features.

I feel like I'm speaking Klingon tonight :-)

Q'pla, Dave.
