sure. Let me restart:
- I like Adrian proposal: instead of in RFC, put it online within our site
- but you wrote: requires implementation effort.
- I replied: well, phase 1 (of put it online within our site) can be done with almost zero implementation effort. phase 2 requires some work (I'd say not that big) for implementation/tools.

Regards, Marc.
