Yes, the thread made some excursions, but let's focus on the task at |
18 |
hand. The wiki is in the first place about offering something that has |
19 |
been missing. It is also about bringing people together. It is not |
20 |
about duplicating effort. |

I'm not sure UserRel is exactly the right fit, as we very much also |
27 |
are about offering services to developers for more "internal" use, |
28 |
such as project meeting agendas. I do think we should work closely |
29 |
together, like the other "participating projects" mentioned on the |
30 |
UserRel project page. |
