JJ,

The "Community" you speak of it a collection of extremely
brilliant programmers.  I will call them the "Community
of Developers".  They are badly overworked and have
prioritized what they can volunteer for.  Because
of this, the documentation takes are real hit: its
would make a cryptologist blush and the IEEE extremely
proud.

Your job as a Peanutbutter Lab (junkyard dog) is to
protect them from frivolous input from the likes of,
well, me.

The community I am speaking of is the the rest of us,
which I will call the Rakoons.  This does include the
"Community of Developers" but mainly its includes all
Raku programmers interested in making Raku's documentation
better.

And it included a request list, so things would be
prioritized by need.  You might even have an automatic
mailing go our to Rakoon volunteers to pick up such
requests.

My Grand Idea would be a real boom for us Rakoons.
I can tell it is already driving you nuts.  With
love and understanding and a few dog biscuits, you
will survive.  I promise!
