Rich,
I believe that your phrase "new blog proposal" meant to reference my
personal opinion blog post
http://eclipse-projects.blogspot.com/2006/11/edp-councils-12-of-17.html
- please note that I have never pretended that my blog posts are
anything but my own opinions and I'm certainly not claiming that my blog
posts are the proposed new development process. The proposal is on the
wiki page.
Your comments have been preserved verbatim (see
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.foundation/msg01285.html).
Of course you're welcome to continue commenting on the wiki (I do) - I
just wanted to clarify that (a) my blog is my opinion and my only my
opinion, and (b) your comments are being preserved and taken into
consideration.
