I like your list, and the plans for guidance for potential users.

I'd say that reference portions -- such as the filesystem hierarchy,
script functionality, and even coding style would be more useful for
the advanced and beginning users than the dev team, but that's a minor
quibble.
I might also add a goal like "facilitate discussion of future
directions of Gobo," which would be hoped to target users and devs.

Really? I hadn't thought so.

I am curious which pages you mean.

Surely we can delete these rather than categorize them. ;-)

I would use templates rather than links here. E.G.
{{lastreviewed|3|12|2007|mpb}}; or with a bit of black magic, just
adding {{lastreviewed}} when you do it. The template could take care
of categorizing, etc, and imo would be less of a hassle than getting
backlinks from a page each time. Same for {{todo}}.
Plus, this could let us decide which user groups see the review
message, maybe show the number of edits since review, etc. without
editing all the pages.

Excellent.

I figure my continuing to block/delete spam, fix links, etc. shouldn't
be a problem for you, but if it is just let me know and I'll gladly
get out of your way.
