I sometimes wonder if we are better at talking about things than doing them. How easy would it be to just add a link the [[Meetings]] and be done with it. Yet, here we all are typing away about it... Not sure if this is all bad... but it doesn't seem all good.
We're not always sure where or how something should be done, so we talk about it and look for ideas. Take this issue for example, we're not sure where something should be linked, but mention it here knowing that someone else probably has some ideas -- that person is then free to be bold and add a link wherever he thinks would be good.
Speaking more generally, the reason that people might be better at talking about doing things rather than doing them themselves could be because they're afraid they'll just get reverted if they try to be bold.
