[wp-docs] wp-docs Digest, Vol 79, Issue 12

Sat Apr 7 19:36:01 UTC 2012

We have a to do list http://wpdocsteam.wordpress.com/ and anyone can jump
in and take responsibility for whatever. If you monitor the
http://codex.wordpress.org/Special:RecentChanges pages, you can see when
someone's started a document on a subject recently.

We rarely have that problem. That's why we've wanted an official P2 site
and made do with our little task list site.

So shout. What do you want?
