Thanks, Chris, for sending this along.  I am excited about this
project, and I really think this will prove an extraordinarily helpful
resource.  Here are two suggestions.

First, I like your category suggestions.  I also think it would be
great if we could capture multiple methods of accomplishing the same
task, because different folks have different ways they may prefer to
do something.

Also, per Rod (and my own) practices, we could also have a "general
checklist" that's just the bare bones basics of the most useful global
changes before handing something over to a proofer.
