Hi Jay,

Well, I would not invest too much time on this, personally.  

From experience, such a drafting process takes a lot of time.  And at
the end, you're not always sure that the whole community comes: to an
agreement... only the ones who care, who are obviously not the ones
the guidelines want to reach.

Why not trying another approach and have a hall of fame for great
posts sent on this lists?  Examples of good/thorough explanations,
example of detailed bug reports, etc.  It would be both encouraging
and educating, maybe.

What do you think?
