Well true, but I would like to make sure we don't end up with a 
completely arbitrary environment, and the only way to do that is to get 
some processes or documentation in place about who to contribute for 
different things.

e.g.

If you have recommendations for a brand then make a new brand, apply 
your changes, build a book, maybe a set book, with the new brand and 
distribute for comment.

If you have a suggestion for better release documentation, make a page 
on the wiki with an example of how it should be done. Maybe pick an 
existing release and document that.

I'm sure there are heaps of other ways to contribute that people would 
find easy to join in if we documented them.

Cheers, Jeff.
