    I haven't seen any volunteers regarding this, so I thought I'd throw in my
    two cents. Doing a regular summary of unrev-ii and ohs-dev would be an
    excellent exercise in knowledge management. They are already used
    effectively on a number of open source mailing lists. For example:

        http://www.ddj.com/topics/pythonurl/
        http://www.ddj.com/topics/tclurl/
        http://www.freebsd.org/conspectus/

    This would be a tremendous way of making our list more accessible and
    meaningfully indexing our archives. I'd encourage people who are looking
    for ways to contribute to the bootstrap efforts to volunteer.
