We do not currently use wiki widely to document conversations had on IRC and frankly important decisions and conversations are had on IRC on a daily basis. I also for that matter believe having an archive so our users, partners and anyone can observe important decisions or discussions had adds transparency. The fact is as much as we would like for all of our important discussions to happen in mailing list or on a recorded Vidyo call it just is not practical. _______________________________________________ governance mailing list governance@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/governance
