   * move to 3-level version number -- still not sure why I shouldn't just
     go with a 2-level scheme, that needs more thought.   For now,
     top-level version number probably won't change for a while, the
     second-level number means significant content changes, and the
     third-level change means corrections and minor improvements.

   * use new <package> tag where appropriate (Ardo, you rock)
-  * advise against uploading when a package has lintian problems of
-    severity 'E'
   * replace 'm86k' with 'm68k'
   * rename 'Whirlwind Tour of ...' section to 'Overview of ...' (suggested 
     by James Troup)
-  * debian/rules: cosmetic cleanups
-  * fill in the Servers chapter a bit more; mention how master is the home 
-    of the BTS; mention how users need to take care with their accounts on
-    master; fill in www.debian.org, first pass, and discuss how to put up
-    your own web pages on va or master; add new section, "The CVS server";
-    add new section, "Mirrors of Debian servers", and point to info about
-    mirrors.

+  * debian/rules: cosmetic cleanups, loosen check for root
+  * debian/rules: build PostScript version during build, since it's nice
+    to have all my debiandoc2* scripts together
+
+  * advise against uploading when a package has lintian problems of
+    severity 'E'
+  * "Mailing Lists and Servers":
+    - "The master server": mention how master is the home of the BTS;
+      mention how users need to take care with their accounts on master
+    - "The WWW servers": fill in www.debian.org, first pass, and discuss
+      how to put up your own web pages on va or master
+    - "The CVS server": new section added
+    - "Mirrors of Debian servers": new section added; point to info about
+       how to mirror
+  * "Applying to Become a Maintainer": do not advise resending initial
+    application; instead, simply mail a followup asking new maintainers
+    whether they go the initial application (closes Bug #28739); mention
+    that calls usually come in the evening; mention that if you use PGP
+    v5, you need to generate an RSA key (right?); clarify our intentions
+    with respect to GPG.
+  * typos and "red-pen" corrections
