That. Would be sweet .Especially for the lazier people out there who either 
a) get tired of looking through b.k.o after 5 minutes or
b) just don't bother at all because of a. 
Granted, I'm not usually looking through JJs so that might be why, but enough 
about me :-)

I think it would also be good to create some sort of general template e-mail 
for first time "I'd like to join the docs team/document X application" mails 
to the mailing list with a list of website resources on how to write clear 
docs, KDE guidelines, docbook primer and the standard "you don't have to know 
docbook..." responses and so on. Maybe I should throw something together to 
start it off ?
