I added this to the topics for discussion tomorrow. We'll cover it last, so any Maintainers who want to leave, can, since it doesn't really concern them unless they Write.

I don't agree; we have a reason to shut it down if enough of us decide to. It's one of the last remaining thing that's left at Alcugs, and there's no valid reason to leave it there.

Well there's the fact that we don't control it.[/quote]
But it's a Wiki. Anyone can go and delete everything. Although, that would be a bit brutal. A nicer way would be to add a warning text at the top of the page saying "This page is now an archive, please use the new List at the GoW forums; yadadada, merry christmas".

He, he, he.

I don't know if anyone remembers how this discussion got started, but for those of you who do, I just got my confirmation e-mail.

[Nynaveve]

I just got mine, too, Greendragon. I suspect Almlys was away for a short period. No biggie. But I think the issue still stands, and we'll discuss it today at the meeting.

This discussion is over a month old, but Bob just (rightfully) pointed me here again.
I wasn't able to attend that meeting, and I don't think a log was published (if there was one I didn't see it). Was a consensus reached?
I'm all for going with our own list, although I think we'd need some tools to do so. (either on ULM's site with tiny changes, like Bob suggests, or simply on the Wiki here).
One thing I find really nice with the ULM system is that it delivers numbers automatically, and there isn't a public list. What's so nice is that it avoids people choosing numbers that they like and we end up with a mess of the list like there is at Alcugs, with numbers suddenly jumping from 200 to 5000 etc.

I notice that the Sequence Prefix tutorial page on the Wiki here still points to the Alcugs list, so it looks like we need to make sure to reach a consensus about all this and clean out old links like this one.

I don't think I need to say this but ... Hear Hear!!

I remember that there was talk creating a second more current list that started with 10,000 to avoid conflicts with Alcugs Wiki. I also seem to remember that there was talk of integrating the whole process as part of ULM, but for the life of me I can't remember what the final decision was. I seem to remember only making it to the second half of the meeting.

this already exists ... it's just that no-one seems to want to tell people to use it
