well lets look at this from another vantage point: 

The developers on this project have got there hands full trying to code
the components of SELinux. If there is no field testing, creative
comments, or general input, the whole documentation process will stand
still (as it has for the last few months). If this occurs, then we will
all have to sink or swim, never understanding the benefits of the
project.

I asked people from different backgrounds to help so that the docs would
not seem one-dimensional, proving a singular concept which may have no
relevance to the 
inquiry posed by the user or admin. 

This effort is in not a destination, rather, a journey .. Linux would
have never come this far if others had not joined in.
