Tim, I'd perceived some hostility in the latter part of your message, but that's cleared up. :-)
> I was just responding to a Wiki page posted this morning that mentioned that > discussions were occuring on board@ and members@, and some were talking > about shutting down the Wiki. Not being on either of those, that comes as news to me. I had not seen Andrew's latest comment on http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?WikiHaters. Even so, I would inquire first. The phrasing on that page suggests to me that it might be rather overstating any cause for concern. "[There] is even talk of shutting the wiki down" sounds more like someone describing a worst case possibility than a consensus to me. What does it sound like to you? > > Board vs. Wiki?

Because > community@ is a closed list, I was not aware of the discussion, > and was basing my comments from what I had read on Wiki. There is (another, apparently) round of debate regarding whether or not to open community@, but for now it is by invitation. If you want to be on it just say so, and whatever "invitation process" exists can be initiated. > > I am not aware of the ASF Board, as an > > official body, having said word one about the Wiki.

I'll trust you though, I take it you've seen the Board meeting > minutes from December and January. I haven't seen the official notes from either, just the summary from January. The official minutes can be extensively delayed, since they need to be written up and then approved at a meeting. So the earliest that minutes would show up would be after they are approved at the following meeting, as I understand it. --- Noel
