I really do want to help, but i'm going to need a little more guidance.

I have to say that it seems a bit difficult to contribute: so far i've
submitted these comments three times -- once in response to Lessig's
announcement of the new license selection UI, once in e-mail to
labs AT creativecommons.org as your webpage suggests, and once by signing
up for the cc-devel list, confirming my subscription, and then posting
on the list, also as your webpage suggests.

Now you're asking me to submit these comments a fourth time.  I'm willing
to do that, but i don't know which of the dozen or so categories this
tool belongs to.  And because the SourceForge site doesn't show any
package descriptions, i don't know which package i'd have to download
to see the code for the new license selection UI.

Sorry to complain at you -- i'm just hoping this feedback will make you
aware that providing a couple of tips (or making a few little edits
to your SF pages) will make it a lot easier for your community of
interested folks to contribute to your effort.

So... when can we get around to actually talking about the substance
of these suggestions?  I thought this was a discussion list, so i was
hoping to talk about them here.
