Interesting. I feel just the opposite, I'll discuss why below.
Maybe we need two mailing lists, one for ldp policy (possiby to be named
####@####.#### and one for discussion (perhaps of documents??), maybe
named ####@####.#### ;-)
My arguments may start out a little disjointed / disorganized, maybe just some
bullet points at first:
* how will anyone know something is controversial before the publication of
a howto (or other document) unless some of the points of contention
(discussion) between a reviewer and a writer are publicized to some degree?
That's all I'll say for now. A;though I may add more later. I (we) don't
want to see a repetition of the C++ Howto which was written by one author and
apparently never reviewed by anyone until I tried reading it to learn
something. It was ridiculous. (I apologize in advance--I might be mis-
remembering, it might have been the (or a) C howto.)
