some non-technical comments:

Like I wrote in my earlier comment, I'm not sure this Wednesday 
initiative is a move *forward* - rather, sideways, but it is difficult 
for me to judge from the very brief minutes.

Let me explain: I was at the famous CERN meeting, and went home quite 
elated, as I finally saw a group speaking in practical terms and 
tackling real-life problems, instead of venturing into yet another 
academic decomposition into spherically symmetric horses. The documents 
produced back then were pretty raw and in places unintelligible, but 
promising. I saw PGI as the proper framework to make these documents 
developing into practical implementations. And I am saddened to see it 
getting bloated, bogged in formalities and tormented by various split 
attempts.

It is very unfortunate that the last Friday call was first announced as 
canceled and then went ahead - this prevented many relevant people from 
taking part in it. I thus would not regard results of last Friday 
meeting as anything that has wide implications without further 
clarifications.

And on a slightly more technical part, I received no comments on the Use 
case; shall I upload it to Wiki, and if yes - where?

Cheers,
Oxana
