I see why you are reacting and I appreciate the sentiment, but I don't think that a policy debate or workflow discussion is would be most productive use of our time right now. > If Petr and Ganesh found it useful in the past, that's great for them, but I > do not want it to become the norm for patch reviews that participate in. I was asked to help. I got lost. I thought a summary would help, ie. not just a review of the latest patch but a high level overview of what we're trying to fix, how we're trying to go about it, and a high-level presentation of the last two delicate points, something to tie the whole discussion together. I figured the wiki would help me get that summary because it provides one document that everybody could work on and that we could massage.

While I did suggest that this could be a useful way to capture long-running reviews so that people can catch up more quickly. I did not mean to suggest that we should move the discussion to the wiki, or even that we should make more regular use of the wiki for patch review Somewhat-grumpily yours, -- Eric Kow <http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/home/Eric.Kow> PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9
