I personally agree to the place where Rob has inserted them now. But i can live with the wiki also. Let us see it form a different point of view. It belongs to more or less organizational things or best practices how we want to communicate on our mailing lists. We probably don't expect too much changes here in the future. Besides the description of our mailing lists it is a good place because it is directly related to these lists. So probably no concerns here. The community wiki is maybe better used for other content where we expect much more input and more frequent changes. Is that ok for anybody? Juergen
