Maintainers:
===========
The MOOSE project is divided into subjects.
Each subject is managed by a maintainer, who must regularly (at least
after & before each meeting) update a database of all that's been said,
unsaid, decided, undecided, settled or projected about the subject. He
must tell what's been definitely decided; he must show as objectively as
possible each one's arguments pro and con each topic discussed; he must
point to history of each change or decision; he must collaborate with the
ToDo list to make know the status of his subject.
Maintaining is writing such


Idea status

	but it also has been implemented !

	the official MOOSE specifications.
* agreed
	The idea was voted and accepted, or not contradicted for

	must be voted or its decision delayed at next meeting
* rejected

* defined not to be
	The official specifications reject such an idea.

Idea Number
===========
The originator of the idea give it a unique absolute number for further
discussion and vote (the net is slow enough so that saving many sentences
for one reference is good !). Further comments are added under the idea and
given a paragraph number under the idea.
