Good point.  Since we've learned that Schematics list members do have a
wide range of opinions (but mostly the same goals), and we're sensitive
to the issues, I'm now curious to have the system go live and see what
the contributors do.

It'd be good if we can show the current legal info when someone goes to
contribute to the wiki, and that we solicit feedback on that in as best
a way we can.  Maybe a prominent link to a LegalRationale wiki topic
that is open to editing is a good start.

If there's an easy way to add an optional radio-button voting box
alongside the link to a legal rationale discussion topic, that might
yield interesting popular feedback (as a complement to the
vocal-minority feedback that an editable wiki pages elicits).  Does
anyone already have a CGI script for recording simple voting box form
submissions?
