[Bf-funboard] Policy

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi,

Sounds really OK!
I would welcome more papers like this. It's easier to talk & criticize  
nicely written and illustrated examples. Hope you're not afraid for  
that. :)

We also need time to think over how to collect this all, review it, and  
decide whether to further pass it on to the coders.

Don't forget that it won't easily work, to order coders around to  
implement stuff. However great & well documented proposals are, we also  
should look at what currently people (like to) work on, to assist them  
in working out the specs.

On the other hand, having a good database with accepted features and  
improvements will help getting focus, and might inspire coders to pick  
it up.
