Re: [cdi-dev] Decision making process in CDI spec

All,

as GH Wiki doesn't support the concept of PRs, I have pushed the changes straight upstream.
Apart from including the decision making process, I have also deleted other pages that contained very outdated (CDI 1.1) information, EG group remarks etc. that are no longer relevant.
Whole wiki is now a single page information with links, decision making process and contribution note.

If interested, check the wiki page here - https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/cdi/wiki
We can OFC adapt it further if needed.

Regards
Matej
