I once or twice told it would be really useful to have a stack exchange-like platform to discuss problems. Although it wouldn't be perfect, it would be something in between blind-voting and mailing list discussion. A place where everyone could suggest a solution and others could vote on the proposed solutions. --=20 Best regards, Micha=C5=82 G=C3=B3rny --Sig_/r7bXocI/pt.C_LpZSS7jq.Y Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) iJwEAQEIAAYFAlD8I+MACgkQfXuS5UK5QB17EAP9EcwBLPTEjC8xgp9IasxcO4mg wgi5jEQDQQrfxzYxyOmdhZgcax8oDOmJ8z/iLdq1utum40wjHbziKbv+w6FpV2fK sLW+C+ZEQ9isTHU35czVTpqCt1RsradD7ox/2WHM18sq2WQJN2LDRJSJy1Z+7bJq ck289Uz5PWuIoLinz/I= =ZV0/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/r7bXocI/pt.C_LpZSS7jq.Y--
