Re: [Rails-devel] Rails 1.7.7 1856 bug - CGR president's certificate

[Stefan F. <ste...@we...>]

Agree that this is not a bug, if I am not mistaken this is covered
by bullet point three in Steve Thomas list of clarifications
compare http://www.18xx.net/1856/1856f.htm

Maybe we could link that from the Rails wiki (if it is not already there).

Potentially we could add the FAQ pages and clarifications for 1830 and 
1835 as well, but this would require to state which variant we follow 
for those issues which are still ambiguous.
