Maybe we don't hold discussions on the list, but only have them on the discussion page of the proposal?
Post to the list to say: Title: Proposal re xxxxxxxxxxxx I've come up with a proposal for xxxxxxxxxxxx Link: yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Possibly include a brief synopsis of the proposal, but that should be on the proposal itself, so maybe not required? Then everybody comments on the discussion page. That page could get quite long, but should also be able to be laid out so that comments are grouped together Part A My explanation Your comment My reply Their comment Your response My amendment Part B My explanation Etc 2 weeks later, reply to your own original post to say "Voting now open - link xxxxxxxxxxxxx" Carrying on with that idea, if you've come up with possible changes to an existing tag, then post as Proposed changes to xxxxxxxxxx Brief explanation Link So if anybody is interested in telephone lines, underground waterways, police facilities etc, they can go to that page & discuss it, but if they're not, they don't! The mailing list should then become a concise index of what proposals are going through. Would that all work? Thanks Graeme
