I agree that pedantry is bad and waiting for clarification is good. I 
just wanted to clear my name ;-) For what it's worth, I'd be up for 
either one, although I'd find the topic in general more suited to a 
tutorial.

Yeah, it's true. The reason I insist on all this "process" at the 
moment is that it seems like we have one body that has the ability to 
do such process: the board. If there were other, smaller threads 
spawned that could take care of GUMs, tutorials, installfests, and the 
like, without having to call in the board for everything, that would 
seem to me to be a good thing.
