Sounds good.

BTW, I wasn't trying to be deliberately dense with my last message. I
honestly didn't know whether you meant educating the community members about
the specific content of an article, or the more technical elements of
editing itself. Personally, I would also like to see a project to educate
the members about how better to communicate with each other. This is proving
to be quite a hard sell.
