It's a bit too abstract for me to provide much comment, as it's not clear how this would change things significantly. Is the idea to provide separate documentation resources? To recruit different groups of people to help with the two stages? How would the approach differ in practice? Can you describe the proposed changes in more detail? -- - mdz -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list Ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu
