2010-10-06 Thread Indigo196
I would have to agree with the overall intent of the logging. I can also appreciate that there are those who do not like that being an always-on 'forced' thing. In the end my only concern would be that it could drive some folks to non-official channels which would dilute the main purpose of the

There were some great thoughts in this thread... I think the LoCo council is doing a good job at ensuring activity and and engagement amongst Local Community Teams. I also think a little more clarity could be introduced to one part of the application. I know for New York State's original approval
