So, while both may have failed in the past, without a better idea for how to accomplish the goal of doing more work in public view I think we should go ahead and try again. Past failure may have been caused by many things and the infrastructure used may not be the reason it failed. With enough resolve on the part of the Board perhaps we can make it work this time. If not, we can always try something else. After thinking about the IRC discussion this afternoon I'm inclined to try using this list first. > Does anyone have any ideas on these proposals? I'd be happy to hear other suggestions for ways we could be more open as well.
