Summary

Discussion on what to do about draft tasks which don't seem to be getting attention

Discussion

There are some draft tasks that end up sitting around for a long time with no one adding examples or discussing anything about it (someone noted this on EBNF parser recently). I don't really want to push a hard rule on draft tasks, since everything about them is pretty ad hoc. I'm wondering if we should "clean out" some of the drafts that didn't really take off. Or maybe we could mark them as "failed drafts" (but use a nicer word)? It would be nice to keep the information around in case someone wants to pick them back up (especially if they have a correct example), but I feel like they should at least be marked somehow. It may be fine to delete them and try to come up with a coherent task suggestion for the ever-growing task suggestion box. What do you guys think? --Mwn3d 18:15, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
