Hi Florian, this is the *wrong* list to discuss about base. *Please* move the discussion over to discuss@, as Thorsten asked. Well, maybe it's not really so off-topic, IMHO. I think it's an issue that Tom - and maybe even others - really want to put before the SC. Every time I read about Base

The general notion here was that having a separate Base list would not serve the purpose - so what other, concrete proposals are there to discuss within the SC? The general notion you're saying, IMHO, comes from people who are not directly involved in Base's issue itself. How many of

Hello, may I jump in here? I think the topic is cooking a bit too hot. This list is *SOLELY* for discussions and votes of the steering committee, and for requests to the steering committee. The traffic here is groing and groing, and puts the initial purpose - track records of decisions -

Hi Florian, I perfectly understand your point. It is not helpful when you declare a thread to be a vote among SC members and then people jump in with friendly and encouraging comments, because then the SC can't vote properly and unambiguously. Maybe label vote threads as SC VOTE:? Then people
