BTW, maybe it wasn't clear in my other messages but I am against these guidelines. For a reason why take a look at which news items would have been left in and which would have been removed.
IMO if it's going to be a news section, it should only be news, and all promotional material should go somewhere else. That's the direction we've started heading in, and I hope it will continue. The reason I think that is not because I'm against having these things on the home page, but it seems like if we don't draw a draconian line then every exception to that draconian line will likely favor one group or another and we can't seem to handle that as a community right now. -David On Mar 17, 2010, at 5:47 PM, David E Jones wrote: > > A couple of quick points: > > 1. a solution to this has already started, see Tim's recent commit and issue > about the main page > 2. proposals like this would generally not be adopted by lack of dissent, but > rather by consent or positive vote > > -David > > > On Mar 17, 2010, at 5:34 PM, Sharan-F wrote: > >> >> Hi Everyone >> >> I've created a page on the Wiki with the proposal suggested by Scott.
