i have given my vote(wiki and forums = yes) but i think im done debating the
issue. this is all philosophy and philosophical debates rarely change
options and theirfore votes on a subject.
so the next step here is probably so send a request with the possible
solutions to the developers mailing list and see what they think. the
developers would ultimately make the decision if this wiki/faq/etc etc
project were to be affiliated with the core project. of course we would not
have to be directly affiliated since this is OSS but it would be much better
IMHO.
can we agree on that? if so, would everyone send out their recommendation
and i will compile them into a coherent proposal and send that on to the
developers mailing list and cc: the users list.
im very ready to take this project forward. im not a programmer but i
understand the basics and i do want to be involved with this great little
project here and this is how i can contribute.
