Happy Monday to you all!
I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you to the many folks who have been stepping up to help out with the not-so-glamorous side of running an open source project: documentation and community support. We all know that hacking code is the fun part, but writing documentation and helping out with IRC and mailing list questions are often thankless tasks. I wanted to personally say thank you to all those who've been stepping up.
Regarding documentation, I've seen dozens of new users on the wiki, each of whom is adding something. This is indicative of people "paying the wiki tax" when a question is answered via ML or IRC. So to those who have been adding knowledge to the wiki: thank you! It is much appreciated. Please keep up the good work.
In the IRC channel we've been having a good number of community members come in and make themselves available for answering questions. This can be very time-consuming, so again we say thank you. The same thing goes for the mailing list. It takes a lot of time to read through all the posts and respond. The following users have been especially active in helping others of late and I feel it is only fair to acknowledge their fine efforts. In no particular order...

Every time a community member helps another community member we grow stronger. Please keep up the good work!
