What Ryan is trying to say is that "MacPorts" is in fact just a set of random volunteer contributors, each with his/her own talents (and many of those without time/motivation to write or without writing skills), with a varying level of expertise and available time to devote to the project. There is not even any legal entity in the background (there probably should be one at some point). We would be grateful if more users/contributors could join the boat and actively help in areas where they feel that they could contribute to the project (in one way or another). If you have good ideas about how to improve and promote the project, there is no reason why you couldn't take part in the joint effort to make the product better in the long run. If someone is willing to step up and write blog posts, articles (potentially based on a few rounds of questions/answers/document revisions), etc., that would certainly be more than welcome. Mojca
