Meta:
Talking with Hyrum, I skipped sending these commit messages to
svn_at_s.t.o per his thinking "that mailing list is for commits to the
code". I've pointed the edits here (dev@), since I believe the
messages are part of our developer discussion. Your thoughts are
welcome.
Concrete:
I wanted to start a wiki space for coordinating and documenting
various aspects of wc-ng. I'm happy to add any devs to the svnhelp
project to help edit pages.
Back-to-meta:
I created this project on Google Code to help cordinate the wc-ng
effort, but also in the hope of providing a focal point for a
user-to-user wiki, an awesome user-friendly issue-tracker, and a fab
download site. I can take the project in several directions, based on
community response:
1) "sounds good". action: add people to the project and link to it
from appropriate places.
2) "bleh". action: keep it semi-private for dev efforts and redirect
people away.
3) ???
Thanks,
