[Wikimediaau-l] open wiki editing for WMAU?

[private musings]

ps. I think one of the key aspects to the proposals process that I
bungled on is that an idea should have the support of at least 2
members before being formally raised on the wiki.... could I ask if
any member out there is minded to support the notion? Hope so!

cheers,

Peter,
PM.
