Is there an Arch expert here?

Is there an Arch expert here?

[Eric S. Raymond]

I saw a posting go by that implied there might be an Arch
expert/advocate on this list.  That would be good, because 
I need one.

I'm working on a survey paper on VCSes.  It includes analyses of
all the major ones. Each analysis includes a sample session intended 
to illustrate typical workflow.

I have not been able to make Arch work well enough to finish my
sample session.  I need help from someone who has mastered its
horrifying intricacies.

        I have a section titled "A day in the Life" on maintaining a
 Debian package using Arch over at:

        http://arch.debian.org/arch/private/srivasta/
 I have tried to detail the workflow I used; and while I have
 streamlined my workflow since I put up that page by adding personal
 scaffolding around arch, the underlying structure remains the same.

        I'll be happy to answer questions; though I am away on a
 business trip the rest of this week; I might  find time to answer
 non-work related email.
