<br>
i dont have email access to "<a href="mailto:thegooddocsproject@groups.io" target="_blank">thegooddocsproject@groups.io</a>" but i will <br>
keep it in the reply chain. i really dont have any insight into the <br>
workings or goals of the good docs project yet, so my comments are from <br>
the stand point of the osgeo lexicon group.<br>
<br>
from the three meetings i participated in last week i think the <br>
discussions were very constructive and are heading in the right <br>
direction.<br>
<br>
i my opinion, i dont see the reason why a motion would be needed on this <br>
type of issue, as it seems very early in the process to decide if one <br>
technology or site is better than another. also, making a check to <br>
create the repo in github or google docs or elsewhere should probably <br>
not require any motion, in my opinion. unless there are specific rules <br>
in osgeo to table these motions for such decisions, but it seems a too <br>
early.<br>
<br>
also, in my opinion, i would rather put an emphasis that the discussions <br>
and planning continue, until the october milestone, to work out this, <br>
and other issues before any motions are needed. i believe there are a <br>
still a number of initial plans to clarify such as the relationships of <br>
the two groups (gooddocsproj and osgeo lexicon), scope, goals, group <br>
working vocabulary, and other issues, such as the tools/sites the groups <br>
that will be use to make this happen.<br>
<br>
based on these opinions, i vote -0<br>
