+Docs outline
+************
+
+Proposed chapters for the docs, who has responsibility for them, and
+who reviews them.  The "unit" doesn't have to be a full chapter
+(though in some cases it will be), it may be a chapter or a section in
+a chapter.

+
+And we might want to do a similar table for the FAQ, but that may also be 
overkill...
+
+If you agree to author a unit, remove the question mark by your name
+(or add your name if there is no candidate), and change the status to
+"has author".  Once you have completed draft and checked it in, you
+can change the status to "submitted" and try to find a reviewer if you
+don't have one.  The reviewer should read your chapter, test it for
+correctness (eg try your examples) and change the status to "complete"
+when done.
+
+You are free to lift and convert as much material from the web site or
+the existing latex user's guide as you see fit.  The more the better.
+
+The UI chapters should give an example or two of using mpl with your
+GUI and any relevant info, such as version, installation, config,
+etc...  The backend chapters should cover backend specific
+configuration (eg PS only options), what features are missing, etc...
+
+Please feel free to add units, volunteer to review or author a
+chapter, etc...
+
+It is probably easiest to be an editor. Once you have signed up to be
+an editor, if you have an author pester the author for a submission
+every so often. If you don't have an author, find one, and then pester
+them!  Your only two responsibilities are getting your author to
+produce and checking their work, so don't be shy.  You *do not* need
+to be an expert in the subject you are editing -- you should know
+something about it and be willing to read, test, give feedback and
+pester!
