| people in a community, when you start to get more people, informal

| can get pretty inefficient pretty quickly ... particularly when you
| only
| really have one "community" person.
| 
| I'm sure we wouldn't have scaled to the current community size

| Rudi beavering away, but I'm pretty sure that's not going to scale
| much
| further in it's current form, so we really need to start looking in
| to
| how we can make it easier for new contributors to get active and get
| some feedback on their input.
| 
| What I like about a LnL for brands is instead of someone making a
| mock-up of the change they want, they can apply the change to a new
| brand and use that to build an existing document. You get a complete
| view of the change in situ, which is always going to give you a much
| better appreciation of the change, and is in fact a lot easier to do
| once you grok how to modify brands.
| 
| So once we have documentation showing people how to make those kind
| of
| changes out side the current brands, it's then easy to create a more
| formal process for how to present changes for consideration.
| 
| Cheers, Jeff.
