I completely agree, and that's why I have sent related discussions (the rating mechanism) to the mailing list. Of course, now we have to discuss based on what to do the rating itself. I expect the mailing list and the #debconf-team channel to be good venues, prefering the list as it is archived and easier to follow (or find information in). > > Second, some time and patience.
