We're talking about this page: http://www.tei-c.org/Activities/Projects/ and the sub-thread began with a bunch of links to project-level guidelines. You're not going to find these links on any of the subpages of Projects/ So the quick thought was: someone has done the tough job of looking through those projects and finding their local guidelines. It might (maybe) make sense to keep the results somewhere in a dynamic setting, where it can either grow into an even more useful list or.. not grow, and in the latter case no one is going to cry about that. The Projects/ page, useful for PR purposes perhaps, is not very useful as a quick source of local guidelines. (And note that I abstract away from whether these local guidelines are good/useful/whathaveyou. That's another thing, but whether we end up classifying them as useful or not, and maybe even noticing valuable or unwanted tendencies in preparing local guidelines, it's rather good to _have_ those guidelines at a distance of a single click). But I'm not sure where to put them at a minimal time investment on my part, to make them maximally useful to others. Hence my initial question. Best, P.
