Current situation is that at the end of such disputes very often (of course not always :) is still unclear if: * decision has been made (and what it is) * previous approach has been changed (or it hasn't, with pointer (URL) to it) * documents were updated (to address change or to simply provide better wording) w/ URLs * nothing has been changed due to X, and next approach will be in X months. It's even more difficult to grasp outcome for non native english speakers. Solution I propose is, that author of the first post in a thread, who started the discussion (if there was some discusion), should at end of it (let's assume it's 3 days after last mail) write summary with those 4 points I outlined above. Simple and will help greatly to track later decisions/changes, or postponed items. -- radoslaw. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
