[CF-metadata] making proposals in trac

Dear Ethan

Yes, I tend to agree with that. The wiki would have advantages for working on
the text of a proposal. I have two reservations about it:

* Changes to the wiki are not emailed out. Without comments and reasoning being
sent out when contributions are made, I'm pretty sure that discussions would
not progress. I think that we would have to use trac as well, to describe what
changes had been made, with links to the appropriate place on the wiki.

* The wiki doesn't have a way to mark up an individual's changes, so it doesn't
draw attention to the changes. If, on the other hand, you make a complete new
version with your changes, it depends on the reader to compare them, and that
is tedious and awkward. Does anyone know of something like Word track-changes
that can be used like a wiki? I really would not like to use Word for CF,
because I find it inconvenient and *very* annoying.

Best wishes

Jonathan
