Comment (by desrosj):

 Will this drive and the materials it contains be publicly accessible
 without having to request access? If so, is everyone allowed to leave
 comments and suggestions? I haven't seen a link to the drive yet, so I'm
 unable to take a look myself.

 If not, is there any reason that this process can't be more public and
 open?

 I know that a lot of time and effort goes into carefully crafting and
 refining the messaging for the About page and related marketing materials,
 and I recognize that allowing everyone the ability to modify certain
 things is not the right approach. But I'd like to just request that this
 process is as open as possible.

 At times in recent past, it has been very difficult to follow the history
 of discussions, direction, and decisions related to the About page, and
 near impossible to revisit the Trac tickets to retrace the progression
 (even for others closely involved with the release). This was mostly due
 to a mix of private communication that was not surfaced or summarized on
 the ticket, frequently creating new documents and removing public access,
 etc.

 This was much improved in 6.0, but I just want to make sure we continue to
 become ''more'' open and don't regress into ''less'' open. Any contributor
 should be able to help with the about page content at any time during the
 release. ❤️
