Re: Wiki page Re: Proposal to develop best practice document to focus work of W3C FSW Community Group

I support all these suggestions and have added them without much editing
to the Wiki page.

A major difficulty developing the whole document is that no obvious
absolute single best standards exist for many important tasks.

Topic 4) will be one of the main ones for the whole document. I would
like to see technical support for threaded conversations (commenting on
comments etc.).

Cheers,
Andreas
