That was the idea, yes.

I could do that, in fact I'm often on IRC (einar77). Usually my policy is to 
look up information as much as possible if it's been already published 
(reading MLs, blogs, etc...) and as a last resort ask people (not because I 
don't like it, but because I know most are awfully busy).

Akademy's on my plate (I have an abstract in the works) so that could be done.

Sure! I'd be very happy actually as recently I've been missing a lot of stuff. 
I'm very interested in the developers' feedback, especially since like this 
they communicate what they are interested in the userbase to perceive (I've 
done a few things in that direction, removing "Plasmoids" and other jargon 
from the current FAQ page).
