Re: [unrev-II] Towards a summary of documents

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.
