This reply was very much in the tradition of "they who do things may comment" which is understandable given the background, but may not be the best thing. Maybe we should just put more weight behind the opinions of those who do stuff, but we still need to listen to others.

That's true, but we're not such a small group any more that we each can remember what everyone else does. Once again, we come back to the ideas of a members directory or similar. Actually, there's one started on the contrib area which probably should be snapshotted in a similar way to the FAQ. Some of these could do with updating. http://www.alug.org.uk/contrib/?MembersDirectory
