		+	== license policy ==
		+	Here some notes on the rationale for the license policy:
		+	* Tim wants dual-licensed "GFDL or GPLv2" for all implicitly licensed content
		+	Rationale is:
		+	* Want to allow text to flow to Wikipedia, if desired
		+	* Want to allow text and code to flow to GPL v2 projects, if desired
		+
		+	It is perceived by some that GFDL text could not flow to GPL v2 projects.
		+	It is perceived by some that GPLv2 text could not flow to Wikipedia.
		+	Hence, the rationale to dual-license.
		+
		+	== Encyclopedic content ==
		+	We should document the rationale for pushing encyclopedic content to Wikipedia,
		+	and possibly give some examples of the types of material to keep here and the
		+	type of material to push there.
		+
		+	One example here:
		+	The Sony page here might contain a list of Sony products that incorporate Linux,
		+	or it might mention that Sony is one of the founders of the CE Linux Forum.
		+	Those facts would be inappropriate for a general Wikipedia article on Sony.

		+	:This is OK, but it begs the question of who's on the panel. I'm not sure how wikipedia builds it's arbitration committee, but maybe we need to have a specific set of designated arbiters (including people from sponsors and the the general community). We have a task force so constituted now, but I hate to press these guys into long-term service for this. Not to just avoid the issue, but let's see how things go for a while, and just state for now that the policy is to have an independent arbitration committee decide such issues. --[[User:Tbird\|Tbird]] 00:58, 9 November 2006 (EET)

		+	== other policies to document ==
		+	Here is a list of other policies to document. These are either not listed
		+	yet, or have not been finalized:
		+	* site branding (only small logos at bottom, no big commercial presence or CELF branding.)
		+	* editorial policy for reverse-engineered information (we already had lots of discussion on this - we need to capture it)
