Well, the media are there, and people can't be forced to discuss if they don't want, that's one of the principles of Debian as a voluntary effort and one of its weakness. If you solve it for d-w you'll probably solve it for the whole Debian, which would be great. D-w has revealed lately as an irc-oriented community, so maybe an idea is encourage people to post to the list the things that flow on irc, not necesarily in an ordered manner. A kind of minutes, but in a wider sense, and not only by one person, just anybody who sees an idea and thinks it deserves to be discussed in depth within the list. regards, -- Ricardo Mones Lastra - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Centro de Inteligencia Artificial, Universidad de Oviedo en Gijon 33271 Asturias, SPAIN. - http://www.aic.uniovi.es/mones -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
