I've also been concerned about the wiki, my primary issue is that it is important to be able to point to a specific point in a particular context for making W3C process work. For example, I don't see how an issues list could point at a specific proposal in a wiki that is changing -- we will need a very clear nomenclature for addressing a specific wiki page in a specific configuration if we're even going to consider using Wiki for anything that is "process relevant"... -JH At 13:50 -0500 12/20/05, Peter F.
