[LGM] etherpads are out of band discussion: please make sure that they are documented in the lgm infrastructure!

interesting idea.

this would be ok for archiving.
at least for etherpads.
for other collaborative tools it might be a bit harder to scale. but
not impossible.
all of them have links. of course.


on the other side the documentation goal would not really be met:
i wonder who will go and read the content of that repository...

from my side, go ahead if you think that your solution meets the needs
of archiving (and documenting) the documents collaboratively created
for the LGMs.
personally, i still tend to prefer a manual (and edited) way to keep
track of the documents.
it might be a little bit more of work in the short term but might give
us a much better LGM in the long term.
