I'm proposing that we start a resolution-l mailing list.
Yes, I know we talked about it a month ago, to the tune of about 100 posts, and it seemed that it wasn't going anywhere. But that was just appearances. The reality is that the support was substantial, the opposition was sub-articulate, and whatever substantive criticism there was was largely based in some assumed misconceptions about its scope (Thomas).
The real truth is that we have been waiting for Cary to fulfill one of his many duties and create the list. That having failed, we have been waiting on Cary to tell us why he has not. That also having failed, we instead have just been waiting a month for Cary to say anything at all. And he recently did, though there was little substance in it, other than a threat to close the bug request. Which in fact, he just did close as WONTFIX: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19414 . I'm sure he thinks he's doing the right thing. Still, despite our recent differences, we should welcome Cary's actual participation in our discussion. Thank you Cary, we understand that you were just too busy to give this proper consideration.
Anyway, we were talking about an open list for discussing dispute resolution. Its scope will be broad, and its purpose will be to be helpful. It will discuss particular disputes in general, conceptual, and editorial terms, and facilitate immediate on-wiki dispute resolution processes. It will also discuss dispute resolution concepts in general, wherever that goes.
