This seems to have come along very well in the past few days.

We now have five camps with pages with substantial content:

  https://wiki.debian.org/Debate/initsystem/multiple
  https://wiki.debian.org/Debate/initsystem/openrc
  https://wiki.debian.org/Debate/initsystem/systemd
  https://wiki.debian.org/Debate/initsystem/sysvinit
  https://wiki.debian.org/Debate/initsystem/upstart

Obviously people will need some time to further flesh this out and
particularly to write rebuttals (or incorporate points into their main
text which amount to rebuttals).

If you're in one of these camps you'll probably want to subscribe to
the pages of the others, so you can follow what they're doing and make
sure to respond appropriately.

How long do people think finalising this is going to take ?  There are
some potential problems with setting a hard deadline in advance but
we're hoping to deal with this matter fairly soon now.

Perhaps it would be good if the camp leader(s) for each camp would
reply with a summary of:
  - the status of their own main arguments: are you mostly done,
     or do you expect to add more substantial points
  - the status of their rebuttals: subject of course, to any future
     changes by the other camps, how close are you to having what
     you consider a good answer to the other camps' points ?

Thanks,
Ian.
