This is another reason I like to send zodbot's minutes (as well as the URLs he publishes) to the list. That way the flow looks like this: * Idea goes on list for discussion * After discussion, goes to meeting for general consensus/approval * Minutes indicate said consensus (using "#agreed <stuff>" and/or "#action <someone> <do the thing that means it was approved") * Minutes go to list in the email with (or following) URLs, and no one is surprised because topic was fairly and transparently handled -- Paul W.
