== Communication Log ==

=== Idea ===

The overall Information in each thread isn't very high normally, but it is hell of a mess to work through all the Mails of one thread again to collect the relevant information. Thus the idea of the Information Log ist ot provide a summary of a thread in the mailinglist or the forum (as soon as it runs).

The Log should be something like the entry point to the information disussed in the thread of the mailinglist. Itself focuses on everything that was said, but also refers to wider information through linking on external ressources as well as internal ressources. Thus the main points to collect are

* Essential Information and results of discussions including references to the mail number in the Google Groups Tree View of the most important Mails that contained key insights.
* Reference to Wiki Pages on which changes were made after the discussion through the users
* References to external Resources that where mentioned in the Thread and are of relevance
* References to other Mailing List Threads that discussed a similar topic.

=== Best Practises ===

We defined best-practises of how to summarize content from other sources like the mailinglist, the upcoming forum etc.:

*Create a Mailinglist Log entry as soon as You feel the information contained in a thread/ importance of a thread reaches a ''level worth documenting''
*Link to ''important messages'' of the thread
*Link to ''valuable external resources''
*Link to ''wiki entries that changed'' as a result of the thread
