| thanks sascha for this.  this is very helpful.  some new folks to the list
| from puerto rico were asking about process and this is great.
| 
| can someone add this to the wiki?  do we have any people who are good with
| wikis who could "clean up" the finance wiki on docs.indymedia.org.  as blue
| mentioned, it hasn't been easy to find the critical information.  i'd be
| happy to help with that project.
