Working on fixing this as I edit things.  Discovered the wonderful vi command to set tab
spaces.  Does that update the tab size when I save the file out dan?  I was actually using
three, but if people prefer, I'll switch to 4.  No biggie.

I don't know what is meant by this.  I thought this was related to the different formats
and stuff below which you suggest removing from Beta?  If I'm confused, someone please
correct me.

See above.

Dan - what are you're thoughts on this?  
1) I didn't want to force people to sign up for an account just to ask a question.
2) I was thinking ahead to the e-mail gateway, in which case anonymous questions might
need to be allowed.

Thoughts?  Also, we could have a user preferance that allows people to disable anonymous
questions from they're view.  Just an idea.  But mostly, think about the mail gateway for
questions down the road...

Also, as everything falls under the moderation system - purging will not be a problem.
Again - just food for thought.

Well - I was gung ho for Q&A cuz it promoted site interaction.  Ultimately Dan probably
has the heaviest word on this one since it will be 90% his job to impliment.  What are
your thoughts Dan?

> Those are the biggies.

Appreciate your comments very much.  Looking forward to more by everyone.  I'm gonna work
on the news now, put that up for review, come back and edit the road map some more... and
then edit the news again based on commenting.

Lemme know.  Thanks!
