Yes, next Sept.  I'll be figuring out where in the next few weeks
(actually, ICMC 2008 is an *excellent* place[1] for me to be hitting
up potential supervisors).

[1]  What *isn't* excellent is that the network here doesn't like
smtp.gmail.com, so I'm forced to use the webmail interface to reply to
emails.  I can read them just fine with pop, though.

Nah.  The doc policies are already in
Documentation/user/, and everything else is aimed at managing a
large doc team.  The remaining half-dozen people know what they're
doing, so we don't need that infrastructure any more.

Oh, I forgot about that.  Yes, by all means keep that rant.  I'm not
certain it needs to be wiki'd, but it would be nice to keep that
around somewhere.

Actually, I'll probably add an "articles" section to my website once
I'm back from the conference.  But there's no harm in including it
somewhere else.
