Because the name is not reflecting what is does. A whiteboard means in my dictionary something completely different then the function of the whiteboard in forrest. IMO the name is *too* misleading to keep it. Like I wrote some time ago, e.g. in the incubator the whiteboard is a link to the wiki (which makes sense). > We could just add > to the Guidelines document to explain what we mean > by "whiteboard" and what are the conditions for > moving stuff into trunk. Hmm, we should do this anyway, even if we change the name. My point is that the name is not appropriate for reflecting the usages. > > -David salu2 -- thorsten "Together we stand, divided we fall!"
