And we already have a namespace for that: Commentary! Good point.
So when a Proposal gets implemented, this should be clearly noted at the top of the Proposal page, linking to the relevant Comentary page (...) The discussion about the Proposal would still be there for those who need to do some historical digging I disagree about these statements. Wiki pages typically don't contain discussions between people - trac tickets do. Unless you meant theoretical discussion of possible approaches to implementing a proposal.
That’s what I meant. The kind of „discussion“ found in papers, not the one found on this list :-)
In that case, from my experience, once a proposal is implemented most of the discussion about alternatives becomes irrelevant.
I wouldn’t be too sure about this (but I also don’t have examples to back that up right now). Another difference: A proposal needs to convince that something is useful and worth doing. Once we have a design page that’s no longer needed, as we have to live with it (or replace it) :-) Greetings, Joachim -- Joachim “nomeata” Breitner mail@joachim-breitner.de • http://www.joachim-breitner.de/ Jabber: nomeata@joachim-breitner.de • GPG-Key: 0xF0FBF51F Debian Developer: nomeata@debian.org
