Any material pertaining to _statistical jargon_ or, to a little
extent, graphics, I will be contributing as well. As Thomas said,
someone has to take the lead role. Unfortunately, for similar reasons
(and time) that won't be me.  What I would suggest is the following:

One (or more) can start up with a broad outline on the main points
(just bullets) that should go in the article. Then others can add /
modify these bullets. Once we are (sort of settled) on the bullets,
then they can be assigned to different folks willing to contribute.

So start pouring in the bullets...

In this context:
1. decide on the word processor: LaTeX would be my suggestion
2. decide on the contributed editing repo: create a svn "release
branch" (say, jss_dec_10) at sf for the article? Or is a journal
article proprietary material, and hence not suited for sf? If so, and
if folks are willing to use google docs, then there is latexlab:
