I think Chris's primary concern is one of "Tell us whats up before it |
| 26 |
happens." Similarly to Sunrise; don't just spring a project, propose it |
| 27 |
and ask for feedback GLEP style. You took a long long time to get |
| 28 |
Overlays up and running and it's a great project; so I know you know how |
| 29 |
to do things well ;) |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Maybe I will propose an amendment to the GLEP requiring this; I'd really |
| 32 |
like to see a discussion about a project here first (even if you |
| 33 |
completely ignore the suggestions and criticisms) then to just have a |
| 34 |
magical new project. |
