[maemo-community] Classic problem of not knowing where to discuss something

[From: Dave Neary]

Hi,

I don't want to make a storm in a tea-cup, but with the work on the
development portal, we have a classic example of how multiple
communication forums can be tricky.

Quim modified the wiki page
http://wiki.maemo.org/Task:Improving_maemo.org/Development last week
(which I hadn't been watching, without realising it), adding
specifically one comment that I want to reply to.

We have 3 possible persistent forums for discussing something like this
(I'm deliberately leaving out IRC):
 * I can add a response on the wiki page - or, as I did, move what is
kind of opinion to the Talk page and add a response there
 * I could add a comment to the bug open on the issue in Bugzilla:
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3178
 * I could mail the mailing list

And I really didn't know which one was best - in the second and third
case, I would be quoting text from a wiki page, but a wiki page really
isn't a good place to have a discussion.

What is the recommended course of action in cases like this? Discuss in
Bugzilla, commit to the wiki? I don't really want to grow another hairy
wiki page which has lots of discussion in the main page (thus my edits
to remove anything that looked like subjective opinion from the page).

Cheers,
Dave.
