Hi,
I have completed merging and formatting, please have a look at it now:
http://grass.gdf-hannover.de/wiki/RFC1_Development_Page

The part on voting still neesds to be done. Please someone link the
corresponding document or paste the section there.
http://grass.gdf-hannover.de/wiki/RFC1_Development_Page#Operation_of_the_PSC

Although it might seem like it, I am not in a hurry and not trying to push
anything (how could I anyway...). Please take all the time you need.

Best regards,
Arnulf.
