It was advertised as a "doc summit". For whatever reason I took that to mean
a summit to get together and work on documentation. I went in thinking we'd
work on the LearnOSM.org website and cleaning up the wiki.

It's really disappointing to me that we have to defend this book, though. We
need *more* community and *more* documentation, not to be hostile towards
community building and new documentation.
