Maybe just a bit overkill... :) What about a "status page" on the wiki? Maybe a table with links to every single page on the guide and columns to identify who is working, where and which is the status of every page. I can think on the following columns: page link short description/notes volunteers status Maybe we can set a "list of codes" to simplify the status column Anything else? I'm a bit short of time these days, so I cannot start this page right now, sorry.
