given that it took us half a year to get to this point, i am actually
pleased to see that this went so fast :-)

i wondered about that too...

why not? unless it is something specific to the board (and editing the
website is not, because that is something that can be delegated to
someone outside the board), it should be open to every one.

if it is to much for this list, do we need a second list for
organizational matters? oscom being to withdrawn from the community is
part of what got us into the current situation in the first place, so i
would prefer to keep things in the open as much as possible. =


i think there are three topics of interest:

* discussing bylaws, goals and all that.
* running the website, wiki, admin stuff
* discussing content managment, standards, comparing systems...

but until someone voices concern about this i don't think we need to
split these topics into seperate lists.
