Of course "expert [users] sharing their knowledge" is great.  But
perhaps I should have replaced "experts" with "core developers".
In 2011, there have been 3 lsr imports:

2011-05-02  f3a35eaef2b78440cdb150d36d8ff6d93e9c8d46 Neil
2011-02-28  129ef378c53f80d45f40af27ba80ad0fb5e0a53c Graham
2011-02-03  8755ca1bdfec581e21d558a5ad55da30ec4661ed Graham

I'd like to be able to tell "expert users" that the easiest way
for them improve the documentation is by adding snippets, and that
these would be added to our docs in a timely fashion.  But if
we're looking at an average of 1 import every 2 months, it seems a
bit dishonest to encourage LSR use [as a way to get stuff into the
docs -- of course LSR can function on its own].

Also note that Neil does the most patch reviewing out of anybody
(hey, what's one of the big weaknesses in our development process?
oh yeah, not enough reviewing!), and I have a ton of other stuff
to organize.


Hence this email.  I don't want to deal with LSR.  I want to dump
it all on Phil.  I'd also like to have timely imports, which IMO
means weekly (or at least 2-weekly).

Anybody disagree with the previous paragraph?
