The ideal outcome of starting with the Last Call questions is that it is infectious. If "we" spec authors, developers, "technical people", what ever you want to call us, know we will have to answer to "civil society" and know that certain questions will be asked before the XEP becomes stable we might consider them from the start and/or consult with people outside our usual circles. But yes, people with the ability to answer - or phrase for that matter - those questions won’t appear out of thin air and will need to be out-reached to. In fact I was going to send this thread to people and ask them to help us phrase those questions. cheers Daniel _______________________________________________ Standards mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
