Let's make RFCs more useful before AND after voting!
I would hope
it would effect the discussion for the positive as opinions wouldn't
need to be restated over and over again, and when it comes times to
vote, those doing the voting could refresh their feelings on each
argument.
+1 I'm a big fan of summarising and synthesising discussions. Mailing
list archives may be particularly fiddly, but even the best forum
software can't fix the fact that conversations ramble and repeat and
take a long time to re-read.
It might be worth having a few quick guidelines (without getting too
lawyerly) - encourage bulleted lists, or paragraphs of 2 sentences at
most; link to mailing archives where particularly key points or examples
were raised. If it's kept as a quick "primer" on the main arguments,
then there's less temptation to repeat the actual debate in competing
comments on the page.
I'm also not sure about the name; I'm not sure who the "second party" is
for these to be "third-party", and "argument" has unfortunate
connotations, even though they're not meant here. Perhaps just "Points
raised during discussion"?
Now to register a wiki account, so I can add some "3rd-party arguments"
to the "3rd-party editing" RFC... ;)
