Yeah, what he said.  The only area that I think this list has been less
effective at doing as it could be is in refining the findings from the
list and spelling them out concisely (via some FAQ or something other
introductory document).  I personally haven't had the time to do this, and
I haven't been successful in convnicing someone else to complete this, but
I do believe it's very important.
