Well, just someone with a google account and using google docs (you don't need a google account nor logging in if it is shared as "anyone with the link can edit", which is the same level of (lack of) security as we have with etherpads ;)) But you do need a google account to create such a document. > Thoughts? Hosting our own has been declined by darix because it is not packaged as an RPM (doing so is very painful AFAICR). We could bypass the hosting team at SUSE and host it on opensu.se instead but then again, I don't think that it would be more stable running on our own infrastructure, it's more probably a bunch of flaws in the software itself. cheers -- -o) Pascal Bleser /\\ http://opensuse.org -- we haz green _\_v http://fosdem.org -- we haz conf
