Okay I will go through the List of Aiwendil:
1.) Agreed. The Final version should steer some interest by the semi-active members. I would not open the Text to the public, but if someone comes in and shows interest we can send it to him as well.
2.) Agreed 100%. We have only to fix the minimal period we will wait before the reopening.
3.) Voting is the one think I do not like at all in the procedings of the project. I am happy that while I am a member it never came to that. In my view in the moment at leats the number of active members is to small for a voting. The old votings are problematic. They were based on old discussions that had come to a dead lock and were kind of solved by the vote. In reading the disussions I found that some times the votes were done fairly early. That means I would have like to discuss further and try to find an agreement. But all this does not make the recent issue howe to reopen a vote not easier. Maybe we should say that a discussion with was ended by a vote should only be reopened if 3/4 of the activmembers agree opon the reopening?
4.) It seems we agree upon working Eärendil as next chapter.
I like to say that I think Eärednil will be even harder than FoG and FoD but hopfully faster than FoG because we are better trained and the chapter is by leck of material shorter.
I also think that we should finailise Ainulindale and Valaquenta. But as they are near to finishing we should be able to do that along with the start of Eärendil.
5.) Agreed 100%. But it seems a quite normal prozess and it is difficult to avoide that. Your proposal to re-wake the interest by more general discussions is good. Start them up and I will help to make them controversal
.
Respectfully
Findegil
