Freddie,
I had heard that these discussions were going on, although I would have
preferred if they had involved the whole committee rather than just a
subset.  However, I really see no point in having them on a separate wiki
now that you have informed us about them.

I tried looking at one of the pages and was told I needed to logon to view
it. I really think it makes no sense for us to have to maintain two sets of
usernames, and it sets a dangerous precedent.  I think it would be best to
copy the relevant wikipages over to the NeXus wiki discussion pages.  Wikis
are meant to be cluttered.

Regards,
Ray
