[wp-docs] New Pages.

[Michael D.Adams]

Thanks all for your kind words.  I should clarify that I never intended 
to "retire" completely, just to pause until things settle in.

Wow - This really wasn't intended as a call to arms, but thanks :)

To be cynical, though, would this kind of response happen for a newer 
contributor (whose articles are likely just as good or better and more 
complete than any of my Template articles, as an example)?  Again, no 
personal attacks intended or implied.  I'm just offering up some 
discussion.

> No problem if it is pointed, we are all accountable.
I don't hold _anyone_ personally accountable.

Actually, on the whole I think the docs are fantastic.  I can't tell 
you the number of times I've looked up Template Tag articles (Thanks 
Kaf) etc.  But the slowness you mention is, I suppose, really the main 
issue.  To take you, Carthik, as an example:  this personal 
preoccupation of yours is understandable (I can greatly sympathize - 
these past weeks, for example, I've been preparing my first talk for 
Group Meeting (it went pretty well)).  Having to do other things is 
always understandable; Codex is not my highest priority in life, and I 
don't think it should be for anyone.  But that's just it, people will 
always be preoccupied; I don't see things getting faster in the future. 
   Perhaps I'm wrong; it could be that things are slower now simply 
because Codex is still pretty new, but I don't think so.

The only obvious solution to me is to get an additional admin or two to 
help with the workload (actually, I guess I'm offering an idea rather 
than a solution.  As I mentioned before, I am not a candidate for such 
a role).

I'll see what kind of time I have.

Thanks everyone for your input.  More importantly, thanks to everyone 
for all the great work they've done/do on Codex.  It's really a great 
resource.
