[Squeakfoundation]Harvesting

[Doug Way]

I think this may be a good idea.  Right now, we do have a number of 
people with "harvesting priviledges", but only a few people have done 
any active harvesting.  (Daniel, Tim and myself, I think.)  I thought 
it was appropriate to have all Guides and SqC members have the ability 
to harvest items (given the experience level), but since none of them 
really "volunteered" to harvest, I can't expect them to harvest on a 
regular basis.

See http://swiki.squeakfoundation.org/squeakfoundation/99

So yes, it would probably be a good idea to get some more Harvesting 
Volunteers on board.  By volunteering, they would be promising to 
harvest stuff once per month or so.  Which doesn't absolutely guarantee 
that it will get done, but at least they could be made to feel guilty 
if they don't live up to their promises... ;-)
