The actual "document" is probably an ad hoc agreement that was reached over weeks and months of discussions in the bboards/forums. It's not entirely surprising that the question has come up again as many of our current leaders (Lars, Jeff) were still at aD when the decision was made by Ben, Don, etc. Particularly since decisions then were less explicitly democratic as they are now.
So this is actually a nice validation of the TIP process (thanks Joel) - we've got a location that we can point to in terms of the discussion and decision over a contentious issue.
Which is great!
(I think it would be helpful, though, to establish some preliminary workflow so that new ideas aren't immediately proposed as TIPs. We've got some 4 or 5 line TIPs that should be discussed in the design forum before being presented.)
