	    <listitem><para>After the heavy traffic of the last couple of weeks, some real work has finally been started to improve on the clearness of TLDP procedures.  David Horton started on <ulink url="http://www.happy-monkey.net/tldp/job-descriptions.html">TLDP Job Descriptions</ulink>.  Currently defined are Author, Chief Coordinator, Document Publisher, Document Reviewer, Mirror Maintainer, News Contributor, News Editor and Technical Contributor.  David will be further polling and charting out the responsabilities of all volunteers; the goal is to include this documentation on the TLDP site to make it clear that TLDP knows what it is doing and where it is going.</para></listitem>
