Keep in mind that there are 300+ folks subscribed to the Gardeners  
list. So we probably don't have to worry too much about either/or  
choices. If some folks want to write tutorials and others want to  
document existing libraries, there's room for both. (Though I would  
say that as a way for a newbie to dive into Lisp and make a  
contribution at the same time, writing docs for existing libraries is  
probably an easier path.)
