I'm going to take up part of Carsten's argument now, attempting to wear no hats.

I personally don't want a "delete n days after creation" type of policy. I could accept (and probably support) a "delete after n days of inactivity" policy where n was large - at least two meeting-cycles large, if not larger.

This tool is being used for other things than working group minuting.

There are teams that I am on that have used notes as places to develop things like tools implementation plans - the notes served a longer than a few (even 30) days purpose until the effort finished. I can see the same being useful for design teams, where the real artifacts that come out are emails to the list and drafts. The expectation, in my opinion, is that these should be expected to be there for awhile, but not _forever_.

What I don't think is ok is carrying the need to redirect these urls a few years from now when the technology under them has moved on. URLs into this service shouldn't be placed in RFCs, giving us the burden to preserve the content and its location forever.

Putting my tools team hat back on - hedgedoc does not (to my knowledge) support this autodelete concept at this time. We could make a feature request whether or not it ends up being something we decide to use. But should we decide to have such a delete policy, it would be some time before it is implemented.

Mark,

sometimes it is absolutely necessary to express how a discourse makes one feel.

Yes, this discussion is frustrating and unlikely to lead anywhere good, and I have to choose my battles.

I made my points, and I will shut up now.

Grüße, Carsten
