Can we please have things go to the mail list, as that should be
the 'primary institutional memory' of the incubator community.
Feel free to also have on a wiki for collaboration to get it done,
but after that, the final proposal should, IMO, go to the mail list.
Does anyone else feel this way? Mail archives will live for years
in distributed places. Wiki's seem to be single-sourced and a lot
more ephemeral
Thanks, Geir - there was a half written msg with exactly this topic
in my outbox... I fully agree with you that at least anything which
is subject to a vote should directly include all the relevant
information - no links for substantial content, just for extras like
fancy PDFs describing the architecture or tarballs of the initial
codebase etc.
This may sound a bit picky but everything else unfortunately comes
with too many disadvantages (no real archives, dead links, no offline
access, etc.).
Cheers,
Erik
