To the harvesters (or anyone who actually controls the content of Squeak),

What is the best way to get a large number of class comment changes approved?

http://sqdb.squeak.info seems to be a nice attempt but there are no 
changes after the initial flurry of interest and it is not clear that 
any changes here will actually end up in Squeak anyway. 

http://www.squeakdoc.org seems to have had very little activity. Also 
it is not obvious that anything added to this site will actually make 
it into Squeak.

Cash for Documentation (http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/2653) 
seems to be lifeless.  More $ interest in enhancements than in 
documentation.  And it has no procedures or directions for actually 
making the changes - even if you wanted to do them for free.

Are there comment guidelines somewhere?  The present comments look 
awful in Dandelion because it must do a <pre> around them to maintain 
any formatting that does exist which results in very, very long 
lines.  Is Dandelion even accepted as a good way to browse (i.e., 
would comments formatted for Dandelion be accepted by the Squeak 
Browser lovers?).
