I like the idea of moving towards a more lively version of the Tao and I agree with all those who've voiced concerns about using to open of a process for group editing. I have an alternate suggestion which tries to walk the "middle way". What is we create the Tao as a web page with one lead editor (an a possible second author as needed) who is responsible for regular review and updates and then spin up an etherpad version of the text which can be edited by anyone with a tools login? The editor could then track and incorporate suggested changes into the canonical web page and notify the list when major updates occur. This would use some familiar elements of our current document production process and tools we already have in place and would give the editor a way to contact those with suggested changes if further dialogue was needed. One question for the Tools team - can etherpad handle a long lived document? - Lucy > d/ >
