Semi-serious suggestion: make the Github repository a public forum.
For what it's worth, I've opened the FLR in question so you couldn't now change it and have me see the new version (and the use of Github as an intermediary, who keep backups of old versions, means that your TDOC is ill-defined here but probably doesn't contain the repository). That said, I thought the whole TDOC precedent got discredited anyway at some point? > Overall though, I'm pretty sure we've been strong on "publishing X" > means actually publishing the full contents of X, otherwise it's > ISID.

Right, the message needs to contain enough context to find the action. I don't think that's a problem with the message in question, though. -- ais523
