I'd be willing to write up a sample draft for this page, if it seems
like an interesting idea.
Yeah, there are a number of things that strike me about this idea.
* Works for Wikipedia? Worth considering. :)
* Putting a request for help in a freeflow wiki page is a pretty easy
thing to do by comparison to joining a mailing list, introducing
yourself, and asking for help (cf. asking for formal Docs Team help
goes like that.)
* It allows for things to be done quickly with minimal fuss.
* Puts needed work for real community efforts right in the hands of
interested wiki gardeners.
* When something is written on a wiki page and referenced in a mailing
list, it tends to give a bit more weight. So, ideas put on this
page first and then one could email a related list, "I'm asking for
help on this."
Personally, I'd find it a fun way to get some gardening in and know
I'm helping.
