19 Indeed it's GDP area but to expose project goals, status and low level
20 docs isn't even related with GDP. We can't maintain the high level of
21 docs like GDP does and it's not even your goal. I think the public wiki
22 idea will improve the communication between devs and users, add goals
23 and show the status of projects. IMO GDP can't do much in this area
24 simply because they don't have much to do about this and they have of
25 course high level of docs to maintain.
