Hello Matthew,

In response to this and the Wiki e-mail.... So I was under the initial
understanding that the decision to move
to SUMO was a done deal but that error was mine. Basically the "Idea" to
potentially transition to SUMO
originated from the Community Team and last cycle Michael Hall made that
idea known when he e-mailed
the mailing list and engaged Doc Team to do testing.

Prior to UDS I was asked to help provide some leadership surrounding the
testing and potential implementation
of SUMO since not much work on the idea got done last cycle. During UDS
we discussed the pros and cons and
created work items surrounding going forward and looking at SUMO a
little more and the PAD for that is here:
http://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-q/meeting/20557/community-q-docteam/

To my knowledge and in discussion with Michael Hall he has been very
open and communicative of these ideas and
plans and has discussed it with Jeremy Bicha and Myself and other Doc
Team members.
