Since the people making decisions about LDP supposedly read this list,
this is the place to make such proposals. I think that it's OK to make
a campaign out it if such a campaign is based on logical reasoning. If
people don't "campaign" for their ideas, such ideas may never get
implemented. But although I presented anti-wiki arguments, I mainly did
so to balance the email containing pro-wiki arguments. I see both
strengths and weaknesses in wiki. I think that authors who want to
have a wiki version of their doc online and then revise their doc based
on wiki input, should be free to do so. And Lampadas should let them do
this.
