Re: [GNU/consensus] [RFC][SH] User Data Manifesto

[Frank Karlitschek]

Hi Richard,

thanks again for your comments. This all makes a lot of sense to me.

Perhaps it would be good to start to work on version 2 of the user data 
manifesto together.

What would be the best way to do that? I could setup a git repository 
somewhere. Does this work for everybody?
