it would even be best if it would be completely created by normal users,
the result of which we can then review. "We" can also be changed to
"Emacs Documentation Delegates" or the like. Although you can use
"experts" if used sparingly. It is customary that "expert" is
not used to describe oneself, but to describe someone else. It is
particularly used in introductions or to cite specific work considered
outstanding.
Be assured I am not against hierarchy. Coordination would be required indeed.
Lately my biggest contribution has been in texinfo, with no plans to take over
emacs or its documentation. But simply because many users are keen to do some
customisations without having to ask other users to help them immediately.
The positive thing would be that users would likely come up with some decent
code structures which the emacs community can then help them polish if need be.
PS: It is not necessary to rewrite things so as not to use experts. Am not
that fidgety or sensitive. And you do help. So it's ok.
Sincerely
Christopher
