Looking at the ical feed I know it's not possible for one person to be the
doc nag if they want to get any other work done in a week as there are now
nearly 30 hour-long meetings each week. :) One thought is to identify doc
liaisons per project that serve the purpose of bringing docs up at each
weekly meeting.

Honestly, though, my sense is that the biggest difficulty is for devs to
step back and look at the big picture of OpenStack and write docs that way.
We also need more deployers writing docs for each other, and users writing
docs for consuming OpenStack clouds. Ideas on enabling those writers are
also welcome.
