[Lnc-business] Motion:

[Alicia Mattson]

I think the scope of this committee, as proposed, is so broad that it's a
problem.

Am I really being asked to be partially responsible for preserving ALL
physical historic information (in #1), and ALL public electronic records
(in #2)?  And the committee is additionally tasked with publishing ALL
historical documents (in #4)?

"All" is an awfully large amount of information, and it means there would
never be anything deemed inappropriate for inclusion because it says "all".

I thought this was just going to be some top-level history like whatever is
on the wiki right now, but this proposal is a massive expansion in scope.

Some historical documents are useful to keep around for reference.  Others
just aren't, so why spend time preserving ALL of them?

Are we going to spend our limited volunteer time and effort documenting the
past, or are we going to instead focus on how to make our future efforts
have more real-world results?

-Alicia
