Yes, by all means, I agree 100% (I'm having the same problem). :-) In fact, I think (and have thought) that the light and dark grey and cyan are all too close to each other - anyone object to me replacing the greys w/ orange and lavender?

Orange is already being used for "Needs review (revised)", and lavender would be maybe be close to the blue that means Proofed. I assume the colors where chosen together, if you want colors that are better distinguishable pick all new ones. See for example here: http://colorschemedesigner.com/ and compare "complement" to "tetrad".

Doc writers with standard permissions can not move pages to Proofed, the idea is that a few qualified people do that I think. From http://scipy.org/Developer_Zone :
"Please list yourself if you are willing to proofread whatever anyone has written, have prepared manuscripts for publication, AND consider yourself an English grammarian. If you know when to use "which" and when to use "that" when introducing relative clauses, and if "different than" stimulates you like nails on a blackboard, sign up here!"

We want to get all docstrings up to Ready for Review, so no need to worry about proofing too much yet.

Cyan (if I understand you correctly).

Ooops, accidentally broke that editing the page to make the Milestones link more prominent - I'll fix it imminently.

Thanks again,
