The nicest thing about the site is that you can annotate every page of docs they
have written. That makes your contributions feel very welcomed and I like the
attempt to include the community a lot. There is also the user tag library now.

I just wonder, if an annotation is immediately published on the site.  If so, I would suggest to have an second optional submit
button, whereby a developer/writer who wants to add something, could choose not to make it public as long as it has not passed the
Akopia's doc team or gotten a scrutinizing feedback from them.

Another thing I like is the overall tone in the beginner's guide and the 'getting involved'
section. All straight forward and down to earth. There is also something very cute in
the beginner's guide, but I won't tell you what, because I know you couldn't take it me
saying that.. 8-)

Finally, on a personally note, I never could really believe (or understand) wholeheartedly  in the open source business model so
far, but I remember a remark from Mike Heins in 1996 whereby his argument was, if IBM believes in something then one better
believes it's serious.

How right he was, if  you read the following article.

Thumbs up !
