Are you volunteering?  As with other things, people propose then do
nothing.  It's annoying and comes up again and again.  It's already
great that we have so many articles written in the fqa, wiki and
elsewhere, but it's a difficult and time-consuming job for any one
person.  I'm trying to help a little bit by working on parts of the
fqa but it's taking forever.  Others do too.

I doubt any contributions would ever be unwelcome.  A 9front
programmer's manual would be nice.  It would be great if you made
one.

Cheers,
