I don't think there's any need to define criteria for when writing essays are warranted. If any participants in a discussion want to write some, they should go ahead. The topic at hand does not need to be "difficult". Even completely friendly topics with only one viewpoint can benefit from getting written up in long form, so that all the aspects are captured on one place. > Considering this would you agree to turn [2] into a Debate or would > you apply further creterions for this? The important part is not whether something is listed on the Debate wiki page or not: that's just a technicality. The important part is that it's clear to everyone what the current rough consensus of something is. Your wiki page for Uscan improvements seems to capture that just fine. -- http://www.cafepress.com/trunktees -- geeky funny T-shirts http://gtdfh.branchable.com/ -- GTD for hackers -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
