I have started discussing RFCs - every page on the wiki has a discussion tab to the right of the 'page' tab at the top.
I have finished the 'A's in 3.4 RFCs and will do them all eventually.

how is someone supposed to find these from the wiki main page?
You find them from the rfc page, which is linked from the main koha-community site. Or if you wanted you could add some more links to them from the main page. It is a wiki after all. Its made for editing.
I'm off to edit some more now.
I'm formatting pages as follows:
==Votes==
Under votes you add your +1 or -1 and your signature (there is a signature button on the top of each editing area)
what is the purpose of voting?
All the votes mean is that someone thinks its a good idea, this was asked for at the meeting today. There was an overwhelming desire to have more people commenting on RFC and expressing their opinion, the vote is a quick way of someone saying I think this is a good.
if someone feels like implementing something, unless there is a specific objection to the concept (which should be _very_ rare and requires much more explination than just a '-1 signature' vote) these ideas can be worked on by anyone who feels like doing so, having lots of + votes won't necessarily mean that it gets done any sooner than something with no votes.
Yes, its not meant to do that. Its just feedback for the author.
this isn't one companies limited development resources that we are talking about having to allocate to the highest priority project here, these proposals are all from people who are interested in doing the work, and as such there is no need to prioritize them. the more proposals you have from different sources, the more development resources you have to implement the proposals.
I think most people realise this, what the notes and votes are for is providing feedback to the author. Whether they listen is up to them, I dont think anyone expects it to suddenly make code be written faster, nor will it guarantee that that feature will make it into a Koha release. No one can guarantee that, it has to be decided when the code is seen. It's just a shorthand way of saying, I think this is a good idea, or I think this is a bad idea. Chris
