It's very encouraging to see the interest in capturing a more detailed
record of discussions, particularly Steve's plans and support for this
as the next convenor. Such effort will benefit users. I personally
will find it very useful, especially if it can inform and educate me,
even in a read-only mode, on the whats, whys, why nots around the
points and items that get considered during the development of a
facility e.g., BLOCK construct in Fortran 2008.. And if such saved
development threads can help WG5 and J3 committees in any way, say
restart some enhancement more quickly in the future or avoid arriving
again at certain decision gates and so forth, then it'll be icing on
the cake!
