I completely agree that the blueprint whiteboards are useless. I'll
created etherpads for the spec URL instead and we can keep the
whiteboards empty. What the blueprints do give us is a means of
tracking and just knowing what is out there for folks to. If the
blueprints + etherpad tracking does not work, we'll reassess and
figure out something else.
