Hi all,

I know I am super new to the list, so bare with me with my
observations that I would like share with the group. Probably no one in the
list knows me, but I am used to online forms, mailing lists and I been
involved in various open source applications for many years. So, these
comments do not come from someone that isn't used to mailing lists.

With that said, I find it difficult to follow the different
threads, revisions, suggestions, comments, and topics that we discuss. It
also seems that the current format makes it very difficult for the
maintainer of the document.

As a suggestions or question, is there a reason we are not using a platform
designed for this type of work? Like Github, bitbucket, etc. A great
example is the link that Brian shared. I can see exactly what is going on
and I could even propose my own patch, which saves the editor loads of work.
https://bitbucket.org/Nat/oauth-jwsreq/pull-requests/3/attempt-to-tweak-the-wording-in-jar-so/diff

Thanks for listening.

-Jared
