I'm just going to throw my comments into the barrel from a historical 
perspective (as the original and former web/wiki master [slave]) and my 
personal feelings.

Most of the past projects (those now existing on the web or wiki pages) 
were in fact discussed on the discussion list. But not all.  In some 
cases I received a request from an individual to add a project to the 
website and wiki -- which I did, feeling that was one of the strong 
points to the whole HPSDR idea -- that of allowing a project leader to 
advocate a design/idea.

 From my memory, there has been only one project on the web pages that 
was eventually deleted, mainly due to the project leader abandoning the 
project and no one else wanted to continue it.

So far, this "protocol" if you wish to call it that, has seemed to work. 
  It was essentially no formal approval.  The members of this list and 
those interested in the project have acted quite responsively in 
requesting project space on the web/wiki.  Personally, I don't see any 
need to formalize this protocol unless we see a spurt of irresponsible 
behavior.

Certainly the discussion of a new proposed project could happen on the 
teamspeak forum -- but as an interested person who rarely gets the 
chance to listen to that discussion, I'd like to see it brought also to 
this discussion list as it covers many more persons with possibly more 
input to the idea.  That is, if the originator is open to ideas and 
constructive criticism.

I concur with webmaster Dave in his statement above.  We have nearly 
unlimited web and wiki space.  A bad or poor project idea that is put on 
the wiki will no doubt invoke discussion on this list ... as it should. 
  So far, HPSDR has flourished with free and open ideas!
