What if I say, for my reasons, "I am not going to do it on Google Docs."?

Also, as you were away, people were searching the started beta 2
announcement. If it was on the wiki...
And yes, of course, there were people invited. But not the ones that
wanted to contribute at that very moment. Iirc it was markey.

I don't care about your documents, I care about the ones of the project.
You can do with yours whatever you want.

Those might be the regular contributors of tomorrow.
Making it harder for them to help will make it harder for Rokymotion
to get release announcements done in the future.
