I thought the plan was to get them finished this month? I did think it was rather ambitious. > I get your points that the informal discussions don't get caught in > the public channels.

Oh, I entirely understand why it's happened. The key point is that if you want a developer community you have to involve them, it's different from interacting with end users. By opening this kind of discussion up you'll actually get more people involved, or at least have the chance to, and then it *won't* just be you and a couple of other people, you'll have more resources for the project than you'd have otherwise and the extra time taken will be worth it. It's not a question of documenting an existing process, it's about expanding the process to include people outside your team.
