I've no objection. I'll send you the login details. I thought that the
discussion list archives were being indexed by search engines, but a
quick search doesn't show anything. As you know, I've tried hard in the
past to conduct the business of different projects I'm involved in with
a great deal of transparency but I'm less of the opinion these days that
we have to advertise the fact. That is, I'm less interested in wearing
'transparency' on my sleeve all the time.

It could be useful in this early phase to be blogging meeting notes, but
if people are genuinely interested in the SSC, I'd hope that they'd be
willing to click through to look at the discussions taking place here.

Heh :-) Funny, I'd not thought of using that tool (which I helped
develop). It would be suitable for the constitution and business plan, I
think. I could put them up on htt://digress.it

I'll do it soon if no-one has any objections.
