That does sound good.

Ye gods, if I'm reading this right, it seems like a living hell. ;) Do you
*remember* all the discussions we had back at the beginning of the project?
Do you really want to go back to 100+ emails/day from the Lists and spend
months discussing the Underworld, then get into massive flame wars over
Orcus? :) If by "written up officially enough" means "on the site somewhere",
it may work, but I would definately suggest against going over all of our
discussions again that haven't been written down in some mission statement.
