Last call for feedback on the Tool Labs standards committee proposal. So far we have a whopping one support endorsement, and two self-nominations for the committee. Apparently I have become perfect in my ability to channel the collective interests of all Tool Labs developers into draft proposals. ;) More seriously, this committee will affect all Tool Labs developers and should be worth at least a read. Rather than rushing to close this out (which I'd really like to do after working on this concept for over six months now) I will leave the discussion open until early in the new year. Barring new opposition discussion I will consider the proposal approved by silent consensus on 2017-01-04.
