Does anyone else on this mailing list (however many there are) have 
any thoughts?
  - Do you think that a month is long enough or too long?
  - Do you agree with the Guidelines as they stand at present?
  - Is there anything we (seemingly myself & Rohit) are overlooking?
  - In what ways could be encourage a little more support?

I was hoping for a little more reaction if I'm honest; it's a little 
disappointing to see the wiki edits stand at two spelling corrections 
and my one-line addition. Perhaps this may be down to a lack of 
guidance... so I'll work on the Guidelines & Contrib. pages tomorrow 
(I've a headache tonight from today's yucky exam revision).

If there aren't any follow-ups to this by, say, Friday then I'll post 
on the forum about it and take it from there. Hopefully that'll get a 
little more feedback. I appreciate the SliTaz 'core' team is a busy 
one but there's little point in 'sprinting' if there's going to be 
very little difference on the next lap, when contributors return to 
contribute some more! (I do hope that hasn't come across as rude or 
big-headed! I'm just passionate about making SliTaz as successful as 
possible.)

Thanks,
Ben
