I think that the best thing to do would be to put up a web page with |
| 14 |
some documentation or a topic outline and then schedule a Q&A on IRC and |
| 15 |
maybe in the forums too. There are a lot of topics that aren't |
| 16 |
documented that well. What we really need is to find what topics people |
| 17 |
are interested in learning more about. |
