Looks good to me! I removed an old mention of the QA/JoinProvenTesters
page from the intro, but that's the only thing I noticed.

I like the mention of positive feedback, especially the mention that
it's the usual case.

Yeah, I prefer this one over mine, especially in terms of
not-being-scary and verbose. My hope was to nail down some of the
specifics, but I think the style and verbosity introduced more
confusion than it solved. I ended up taking it in an
at-five-thousand-feet direction instead of a "do this and this"
direction. Hopefully I'll remember to keep the intent in mind before I
stick my nose in one of these again. ;)
