You know, I might want to argue against the idea of having written policies.
We don't have written policies for any other part of this project (the whole
project I mean, not just www), but instead kind of feel our way through
things. (Hmm.. suddenly I have the notion to stab my hand with a fork).
Well, I guess the only point is that I hate to get bogged down in rules and
regulations on things, so if we keep them in the spirit of general guidelines
that the web community can change or ignore at any time it might be ok.

I have a desire to do "bug capturing", which is a little different. This
would be a good thing for the community at large to participate in wrt the
web team, but really the implementation details have never really been the
problem in this discussion.

I have a todo list of a bunch of different things but no time to work on, I
guess if we need to fill up things I can break out with some of those items.
(An example? What ever happened to setting up the doxygen stuff?)
