Actually it's more a problem that the project doc (the wiki) isn't really
used, so if you have ideas (questions even), best is to start to write
them on a page so that others can come and complete them or discuss them
here.

Lots of discussions have happened that were not dumped on the wiki, and
it's quite a shame. The wiki should be the primary place to put ideas,
then have them discussed on the list if they need to.

I'm trying to fill the wiki with some of the ideas, but it's a big task so
the more people that try to keep it up to date, the more the project can
have a clear picture where to go.
