I should have responded to this email sooner. Busy week.


"Who are the bugzappers?" section-
I like the link to Active Triagers on my page. One click to the Active 
Triagers, people know who to talk to in irc or on the list.
"...volunteers and Red Hat employees..." 
This is correct, but I am not sure about it, it reads almost like a 
subdivision of the group. We are one group. This may be being nitpicky, 
but this is one of those things with me.

"Help Wanted"
I like the simplicity of my "We Need You" thought admit the wording 
could be better. I see "words words words" tiny little join link, bah =).

"Responsibilities"
After some thought, I have to agree with John5342 that is to strong a word.

"Tools and Proceedures"
My own thinking at first was that we need links to important content on 
the first page. Thinking more on it though, I find I use those links 
rarely if ever anymore. A new triager will, but couldn't this live on 
the getting started page. Also, the position above communication, I 
would prefer commo higher.

who are we
what do we do
how to talk to us
how to join

I am starting to feel like the bugzappers wiki bad guy =P.
