We ask contributors to be thoughtful about placement of additional and related topics, as well as the creation of new pages altogether.  Before starting a new page, consider posting the suggestion to the [[4.0/Sandbox|Sandbox]].  We would also prefer that contributors use their real names when editing the wiki.
+CC prepared pages on the key topics identified. Many topics that did not fit into the prepared framework began in the [[4.0/Sandbox|Sandbox]], with some eventually moving to individual topic pages.
 === Process ===
-As a license steward and steward of the commons, our goal for the process is to ensure utmost transparency and inclusiveness. The 4.0 process is being conducted in line with our prior versioning efforts, with periodic publication of license drafts for public comment and documentation of issue resolution as that occurs.  One important difference from our past efforts, however, was a formal requirements gathering period that ran for a period of time prior to publication of the first draft.  During this period, we strongly encouraged the broadest participation possible by everyone with an interest in the commons and the role open licensing plays in its future.
+The primary discussion forum for issues relating to the 4.0 versioning process was the [http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/cc-licenses CC license development email list].
