Long before they went open source, RunRev added community enhancement 
capabilities in the Dictionary through its Comments feature, so anyone 
can annotate it with useful additions.

With a language this broad and used in so many different ways, this sort 
of crowdsourcing is much more useful for all of us than assigning that 
task to a single person who can't have the breadth of experience of the 
community as a whole.

Perhaps you'll add some debugging tips there?
