It's almost sure that there won't be one person alone left that will
have enough time and energy to do as much as you do, but I hope we are
enough people to be able to make GDP live for a few months after you've
gone.  If this is productive enough, I may want to manage doc
contributions in various formats (patch, plain file, ...) as you're
doing.  The detail I'm afraid of is the amoount of time spent in
answering time-consuming or a lot of questions via email; if we can
share the emails load between several people, this would be viable.

Scheme programming and Application Usage are kind of big doc work, and
it could be productive to do at least the latter under GDP.
