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.

We would love You to contribute. As the Log should be something like the entry point to the information discussed in the thread of the mailinglist, it should summarize everything that was said, but also refer to wider information through linking to external resources as well as internal resources. Thus the main points to collect are:


*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''
* 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.
*Link to ''important messages'' of the thread
* Reference to Wiki Pages on which changes were made by the users after the discussion
*Link to ''valuable external resources''
* References to external Resources that where mentioned in the Thread and are of relevance
*Link to ''wiki entries that changed'' as a result of the thread
* References to other Mailing List Threads that discussed a similar topic.

We would love You to contribute. As the Log should be something like the entry point to the information discussed in the thread of the mailinglist, it should summarize everything that was said, but also refer to wider information through linking to external resources as well as internal resources. 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 by the users after the discussion
  • 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.
