I got zero response either way on my proposal to do some work on the 
tracker and the QA/testing documentation so I have not done anything.

Doesn't seem urgent, since nothing else seems to be happening at the moment.

Not sure I understand exactly what you're up to here...
Off the top, the results remind me of those spam messages that were real 
prolific a few years ago, consisting of an apparently unrelated jumble 
of words/sentences assembled into the message body... :-)

From scrolling skimmingly down the page, one thing I noticed was quite 
a few key (initial) words that had medicinal implications or connections.

Didn't see very many functional words (e.g. coppice, hedge, timber, 
paint, that sort of thing).

Is this something to do with the results of my tests using 'groundnut' 
in PIW?

cheers,
John S.
