[Bf-committers] Blender summer of docs

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi,

I like to move fast; so here we go!

- Timothy Wakeham has volunteered to coordinate this project
- opened a forum: http://www.blender.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=19
- and added news on frontpage blender.org

Target is to have the project outline (how to) defined in next few  
days. Discussions on that are welcome in the forum.

Thanks Tim!
