Random idea, before I forget about it: Since we are using CVS, is it
possible (or worthwhile) to have a CVS module for new writers to
practice on (perhaps as part of a tutorial) ? I'm thinking of the
"sandbox" pages that all Wiki systems include for newbies to experiment
with and make mistakes.
Sounds like a good idea to me.
