Re: [9fans] restructuring of plan9 pages - why?

[Russ Cox <rsc@swtch.com>]

Uriel, your proposed new page is the same as the current one
except that in the new one:

  - there is a new Wiki link that is the same as the current more... link.
  - there is a new more documents... link that is the same as the
    current more... link.
  - the current more... link is gone.
  - all the links are underlined.
  - the font sizes are specified in ems instead of pts.
  - the 9fans link is to the wiki instead of the 9fans archives.

The first three are silly, the the fourth only matters slightly,
the fifth is typographically ridiculous, and the sixth was
discussed on IRC (with you present!), and the agreed
conclusion was that the current link was more appropriate.

This is the sort of minutiae you're going to quibble over,
and then you wonder why I declared a moratorium on web
page changes?

I've finally figured you out.
  1. You propose something.
  2. It gets discussed, either over email or IRC.
  3. A decision is agreed on and implemented, and discussion stops.
  4. Time (e.g., a month) goes by, either to allow you to forget the
     discussion or (less generously) to hope that everyone else has
     forgotten the discussion.
  5. You go ahead and do what you initially proposed anyway.

The web page is a good example of this, as is the 9load post.

Go write code.
