Good question, Kul -- http://meetingwords.com/RccPlanning is the best place for this.
RecentChangesCamp has a wiki, which has been where such planning usually takes place: http://recentchangescamp.org But, Mark Dilley has started a planning page on an Etherpad, which makes it a lot easier to get started (don't need an account, for instance). Once there is some solid content, it will probably more sense to move this to the wiki. -Pete On Jan 29, 2012, at 11:06 AM, Kul Takanao Wadhwa wrote: > Pete - why don't you get a planning page started up on the Wiki?
