A partly agree, but there is nothing to document yet on POV4, mainly 
because it does not exist yet. A newsgroup is better to discuss things, 
but it also means that all comments are scattered around in the 
discussion tree. I'd like a place where we can collect all opinions and 
possibly the consensus reached, if any. That would mean that there will 
be several pages each discussing a specific topic that everybody can 
alter, but with the 'restriction' that nobody alters somebody else's 
comments. And where everybody preferably not even reacts to the other 
comments, but plainly states their own point of view.
