Re: [tao-discuss] Retirement of the Tao

[Russ Housley <[e-mail]>]

Niels:

Can we ask some new participants whether the Tao was helpful in preparing for their first meeting?  If it is useful, then we ought to find a way to address the points you raise in the Internet-Draft that keeps useful information around.  On the other hand, if no one is using it, let's stop working on it.

Since much of the information in the Tao is not keeping up with the changes of the organization and the website is providing all that information in various formats to our community, I would suggest that we move to the retirement of the Tao.
