Yes, not only do I do regular code reviews at work I have worked as a  
coursework marker for a masters level university java course.  Part of  
my job is that when I see an interesting package name in the plone  
commits or on PyPI the first thing I read the source (including  
readme) and talk to my coworkers about it.



- is excellent at reviewing documentation and release notes


I am the new editor of the configuration and setup section of  
plone.org documentation and started the evaluation process that the  
whole docteam is now using.  See http://www.openplans.org/projects/plone-documentation/configuration-and-setup-overview 
 for what I've done so far.  I love doctests as examples for plone.*  
packages but for plone.app.* they generally seem to be less useful.   
Either way, a readme file that clearly explains how to use the code is  
vital, imo.



- loves to make sure a user interface is as simple as possible


Less so, I'm a terminal junkie.  I know what I hate, as it were, for  
example adding a new user with the manager role in PAS is dire, but  
I'm more interested in ensuring integrators can easily customise a UI  
than perfecting the OOTB one.  As long as it's usable it's enough for  
me.

 I'd be interested in serving on the 4.x team.  Although I've not made  
 masses of commits to Plone I do know the internals very well, I think  
 I must have pdbed or read most of it over the years and I'm  
 comfortable with development versions.  I think the current team has  
 done a great job in not breaking Plone 3.x as its progressed and I'm  
 keen to see that continue with 4.x (x  0).  I'm used to working in a  
 development team for my day job, including code reviews for other  
 programmers, so I don't think there's anything in the job that I won't  
 have some experience with.

Do you see yourself as someone who:

- excels at reading and understanding other people's code
- is excellent at reviewing documentation and release notes
- loves to make sure a user interface is as simple as possible

It would be nice if the team will have a balance between those
qualities.
