Re: [ogpx] VWRAP is going no where.

I found the lack of posts since December 8th to be completely normal.  It
was December after all --- a month dedicated to preparing for festivities,
attending them, and recovering from them.

To suggest that "VWRAP is going no where" is not correct, as long as some
people want it to go places.  Many people do, and are working towards it.

I do however support your statement 100% about the work being done behind
closed doors.

Working behind closed doors is not necessary, and it's deliberately
provocative and obstructive to the smooth operation of the working group.
It should not be done.

The group is here to work as a team.  Please let it do so, by involving it.
(Pointing at Lindens here.)

There still seems to be some remaining vestige of "let's do what we want and
get it rubberstamped", and it really needs to disappear.  It's not going to
get rubberstamped, and not involving the group throughout document
preparation just guarantees major dissent and wholesale rewrites.  I would
prefer a smoother, more collaborative approach.

This work should be done incrementally, agreeing ideas in advance within the
team, and only then writing them up once the basic details are well known.
Collaboration is much easier under those conditions.

Morgaine.
