[wp-docs] Suggestions for WordPress Codex

[Lorelle on WordPress]

Excellent to know that these options and features are now available. Many of
them look like great ideas.

Also, many of the WordPress mailing lists have now gone to p2 WordPress.com
private or open blogs. I have been wanting to recommend that to the Docs
Team for a long time and maybe this is the time to also make that change.
I've got several WordPress.com subdomains reserved for such an occasion, and
I think we reserved Codex and others early on in WordPress.com development.

It would be a great way to create to do lists and tasks with associated
threads. I know many of you are involved in other WordPress.com P2 setups,
so I'd love your insights and advice.

Thanks,

Lorelle
