Agreed the task was more interesting.

Also, I wasn't suggesting that we should sucker you into another such
task, but just noting that someone's likely to find the outcome
sufficiently valuable. And yes, multiple hands would be better.

Pydocweb (http://code.google.com/p/pydocweb/) is very good for this. It's an svn-aware wiki docstring editor. For numpy/scipy about 100 people are registered, most of whom have contributed, from a few bug fixes to thousands of words.

A python committer would only need to review changes and apply patches. It's a great way to get contributions from new people.

Cheers,
