Jonathan et al,
The current CF trac system allows tickets of type 'task', 'defect' and
'enhancement'. Would there be merit in creating a new ticket type
called, say, 'discussion' (or 'RFC' perhaps) to capture preliminary
technical discussions connected with a tentative/provisional proposal?
Regards,
Phil
