Howdy,
I would like to take a slightly different view on this.
Wikis, to me, are not discussion boards but a good mechanism to hammer
out documentation. E-mail is much better for discussion, as it can be
viewed more readily than a wiki that wants to be updated frequently to
see if something's been added. I've gotten to this position based on
hard experience with another project.
I totally concur with keeping an RFC template on the wiki, and in
updating said RFC with concise comments, evolving to a final document.
I'd prefer to see RFC discussion on either both users and developers
lists, or on a new list dedicated to RFC discussion that folks can
subscribe to if they want.
gerry

Hi
It would be good to make an rfc template on the wiki and store all the
rfcs on the wiki - then keep all the commentry on the wiki. IMHO email
is not a good medium if you want to go back and look at the discussion
surrounding an RFC. By all means of course we should advertise the
rfcs on the mailing lists etc.
Regards
Tim
