I think this plus my previous governance article on the board would be useful essays for part of the ComDev site. I envision a set of articles on ComDev that explain the "whys" of many of the things at Apache, to give newcomers some perspective on how and why things work they way they do.
I don't see this as replacing the apache.org/dev site, i.e. the official "How to be a committer / How to do PMC things" information, rather a more approachable way to see why these guidelines are the way they are, and to provide links to those more specific procedural documents.
Sound good? Other ideas? - Shane
