We were actually talking about design discussions like this one.
The original context was my email on how to make localStorage multi-
process aware. Where we discuss designs doesn't matter to me, but I
would like to reach a consensus on the subject.
Design discussions about new features with broad impact should be on
the mailing list. These are things that the community should be aware
of and that many may wish to comment on. Discussions about the details
of fixing specific bugs should be in the bug. I realize there may be a
fine line at times.
Personally I prefer to have technical discussion on the webkit-dev
list, unless it is of extremely narrow interest. I would prefer to see
this list used for discussion of design issues in WebKit, instead of
requests for help building or using the API or adding non-public
features.
