We definitely still need much more discussion and participation to hammer out all the topics on this. In ideal situations you can find agreement on parts and then reduce the scope of what's being discussed so where people disagree is more clear. That often allows it to be more easily addressed. When you've done a good job on all that and everyone feels they understand what's being discussed and are all "talked out", it's a definite sign a vote is the only remaining way to move forward and you hold one. Some projects are pretty strict about whose votes count. Some say just votes from the PMC members count (small group). Some say just the committers (slightly larger). We've typically been pretty open and say everyone's votes count; it's hard to grow a project while telling people who are your future growth, "your vote doesn't count." :) On this topic specifically, I also agree with David on several things and I definitely don't feel "talked out", so at least for my perspective, we're aways away from voting on anything. More participation will definitely help the discussion along. There's an entire facet of this discussion we probably should be talking about which is how to deal with our heaps of content in various states of health; how did it get unhealthy, how do we deal with it, how do we prevent it, how do we encourage more contribution to main docs. I think any tool in the hands of someone willing to lead an effort to improve our main docs is a good tool. -David
