> I actually like Debbie's suggestion of having a database as one option for
main list members to use.  I'd be in favor of having an email option, but I
think the database just sounds tons easier from an administrative point of
view, long-term especially.

Is there a reason we can't do both? Options are good; we just have to
remember to *check* the things, but we can possibly set up a cycling
responsibility like the elves have? I mean, we'd have to remember to check,
either way.

your final end conclusion, Cindy.

I'm not sure I do. If there's any list that seems to operate well by
consensus, it's this one (at least, when we're *active*). We are a focused
list with one purpose: comb the main list posts for candidates for
inclusion; compile FAQs. When there's questions about how to do something,
we discuss. It works.

About the only thing I think we'd need to elect is a representative to MEG,
if you want to start doing "status reports" or anything.

I *so* don't want to get into another governance discussion on another list.
When we're working on FAQs, it *works.* Let's not get derailed yet again.
