Yeah, I agree we need to do a better job there. The revamp of the Labs
blog will go some way toward that, I hope.

However, we do have people who are contributing to The List already,
people who will be asked to sign the contributor agreement. So I
wanted to get some feedback on it, before we proceed there. As there's
no specific feedback about the agreement, only the process, I'll
proceed with it as is.
