While we already have a few tools for this kind of discussions, (I'm thinking about the current mailing-list and the Cocan Wiki), at the moment, we are lacking organisation and a way of committing to a decision. Let me suggest the following process: * anyone on this mailing-list may ask for or suggest best practises -- to do so, please put [OSR] in the header of your e-mail * after some debate, if one or more solutions have emerged, we put these solutions on the appropriate page of the Cocan Wiki, with summaries of pros and cons and an official space for voting and suggesting future improvements * if the vote proves conclusive, we move the chosen solution from the voting stage to some page on that Wiki, say "recommended practises." Does this seem an acceptable method ?
