I agree, the summaries are more readable and easy to navigate than the
raw logs of all discussions. Of course, as soon as they will be
available, they can be consulted if more detail is needed, so I am in
favour of keeping them archived in a convenient format. Thanks Steven
and LOC for working on that.

Same from me. If you find a valuable tool and wish to have an OSGeo
instance of it, let Board/SAC know.
