[Imc-uk-process] [Imc-uk-network] New Crabgrass UK Network

[Mike D]

Hi there,

The lists are currently used for organisation (features, moderation,
and process). Some local IMCs (for example Birmingham) already have
Crabgrass as it is a useful tool for collaboration when writing
features. Again, the existing UK Crabgrass UK is used by many IMC
admins to collaborate on feature writing.

I am not necessarily averse to there being a UK network on crabgrass
but I think you should outline the benefits, i.e. what it can be
used for and how it can help people. I am not sure what these
benefits might be yet. You should also have proposed this to the
list to get consensus on this first before actually going ahead and
doing it.

Regards,


Mike
