Note that the action was a result of a request made by Spot in that actual meeting. When I referred to hearing from multiple reports that the front page for packaging could be less confusing, without needing to touch the guidelines themselves, Spot agreed and said he would be very interested in seeing some work on cleaning up the pages. As Paul said, the methodology in cases like this is to work up a draft in a different location (e.g. User:Foo/Packaging_Guidelines_Draft.) Since taking care of our contributors is important, and packagers are a major contributor group, it seemed clear that the wiki gardeners need to make this a top priority task. - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, Sr. Developer Community Mgr.
