Language committee/Archives

< Language committee
Prior to April 2013, the discussions of the language committee happened on a private mailing list. From 2006-2010, discussions from the mailing list were copied to this page, excluding comments from users who disagreed with public archival. Afterwards, monthly reports, summarizing the discussions were sent out. Since April 2013, the discussions happen on a public mailing list archived at mailarchive:langcom.
