In the press

[ian douglas]

I'll have time to help out as well starting next week. I wonder if we
could get the OM techs to create another mailing list started like
wiki-editors at lists.openmoko.org so we can communicate to one another
about organization plans, etc.

The other thing to consider, as well, is what Brenda's role is with
regards to the wiki. As I understood it, managing the wiki was her
position within the company. Obviously a daunting task for a single
person, so perhaps we need to make sure she's in the loop, or managing
the team, etc.

Like Josh, I can give a few hours per week to make the wiki a less
confusing place to be.
