Re: [Xen-devel] Xen document day (Oct 12 or 26)

[Lars Kurth <lars.kurth@xxxxxxx>]

Looks like me being maxed out means we are too close to Oct 12th now. 
Does anybody object to doing this on the 26th?
How long will the day be? An afternoon? A whole day with rolling 
time-zones?

In a nutshell:
- We should focus on some of the shortfalls we identified at the Hackathon
  (CLI guides, man pages, etc.)?
- We should also do a quick Wiki sanity check (i.e. identify important 
pages, which are wrong)
  I can help guide this

Maybe we can split into two groups
