If the mirror experiment is successful, the devguide might be the next experiment. It does not have any one maintainer, and is tied to the tracker. But herein lies the problem with the devguide. There are 22 issues, down just 1 from about a year ago. All but 2 are more than a year old. Many (most?) have patches, but enough consensus for anyone to push is hard. As with other doc issues, there is no 'test' for when a non-trivial patch is 'good enough' and hence, in my opinion, too much bikeshedding and pursuit of the perfect.

Speaking as someone who contributed to the devguide, I think it has become good enough and have therefore largely stopped caring. Also, many requests seem to be of the "please add this thing" kind, which is a slippery slope.

Antoine.
