So why not say it that way.
To be clear, I have no stake in the wiki contents, I'm just offering comments. I'd be fine with the text I wrote above, but Robin proposed something else that is somewhat longer. Some further discussion on the list might be appropriate, if anyone has additional thoughts -- ultimately it's the people doing the work and contributing ideas in discussion who make the decisions. Or someone could decide to fork the project so they can change the documentation without discussion. (Not really. That's a jab at mutt-kz, not at anyone here.) -- David Champion • d...@uchicago.edu • IT Services • University of Chicago
