[Jacob Levy] 05/18/2003 It would be really nice if people would, when updating an existing page, mark their changes and updates with their name and date, as I do here. That way it'll be easier to follow conversations.

''([Jacob Levy] 05/18/2003 the '''this page''' in [escargo]'s comment refers to the home page, where these comments originated.)''

''[escargo] 18 May 2003'' - I have made some ''really minor'' copyediting changes (which should be revealed
by the [wikidiff]).  I think this is one page that should not be marked by any more text than absolutely
necessary.  (For example, I think this little subsection should ''be removed'' once minimization is
considered to be ''a good thing.'')  Giving people credit or having people take responsibility is generally
good, but in this specific case I think noncontroversial changes should be allowed to stand without
attribution.

''[escargo] 19 May 2003'' - Apparently [jcw] agreed that the home page did not need to be burdened with
this discussion.

[RS] 2003-05-19: Please also consider that changes are most easily seen if they're at the end of a page. And some pages have grown to more than sufficient size, so best fork out a new page if a new point in discussion comes up.

Also consider that some people would prefer '''not''' to provide their name - either for privacy, or because they don't believe that it is relevant.  To try to force the issue would diminish the community that has grown here.
