I like this idea a lot It would be great if people could have a standard public wiki page connected to their whiteboard where they can write: - what they are doing, - who is doing it, - why they are doing it, - and their short term / long term plans, - tell about the state of their code (usable, pre-alpha), - basically anything they want to share. This page would be editable by the whiteboard owner without having to go through voting stuff, consensus etc on what they want to write there. that's why it's a white board..... a) It could prevent duplicate efforts of solving issues and b) it might be easier help to bring people with the same expertise together creating better solutions. Of course it NOT be obligatory to maintain such a page for each whiteboard, but offering the possibility to do seems great. Then a central wiki page that links to the different whiteboard wiki pages that have been created could help anyone interested to get a quick view on what's going on in the project. This seems much more accessible to me than a high traffic mailinglist or checking out the trunk and wading trough the code to maybe find something of interest for you. Example: i checked out the whiteboards and see that Tink is doing some great work on navigators and layouts. For people just browsing trough the wiki this could be valueable info. >> My issue is the >> "officialness" of a wiki saying "this is what we are doing in this way" > > Yes, that's more or less a step towards of what I mean.
