notes:
20:59 <lynX> what i dont like about adhocracy is superficial: 1. it includes google scripts 21:00 <lynX> 2. people turn off delegations just so they dont need to worry about user registration 21:46 <codethief> lynx: but we're not here for trying out *liquid* democracy. we're here for decision making. 21:48 <lynX> ct: ack, delegations may not be needed for this job
now, keep the flame up! :^D
