[wlug_org] Hard-Drive for Caddy

[Michael Dittmer]

Haven't we been around the particular merry-go-round before?

If people remember, "formalising" was not something the group wanted, but we
did agree to look / discuss it later in the year or early next year.

Maybe it is something we need to discuss as a whole with the group.

My 2 cents

Michael

we do or can do all of what you just described right now. What part of
the problem does 'formalising' solve?
