OK, the discussion has been ongoing for four months. Nothing came of it,
except for another recent burst of activity that looked like a step in the
right direction, and then died again.
We noticed the absence of closure in this week's meeting. Thus it *is* time
to "call for the vote". That's what's happening now, but with one final
comment period to make sure we take a proper pulse of today's community.
Really, I would rather that it simply "have happened". But I'm happy to have
the board step in and say "ok, let's do *something*".
Also, keep in mind that the board *is* ultimately elected to be the
representatives of the community, so if the board asks the webteam to choose
solution A instead of B, it's ultimately the "community's choice".
