Hello People,
The topic initially came up in the “Gatekeeping” thread. However it was suggested that it should be a separate thread, which makes sense so I am starting one.
So, straight to the point: it looks like we have a decision making process emerging! (below). What do people think about it?
#1 Discuss things on the mailing list first. It could be ongoing for months - so that everyone who is interested has time to read and respond. However, it doesn’t have to be for months. #2 When/if the discussion seems to be settled and people are in agreement, the item can be added to the agenda of the meeting. #3 At the meeting the item can be discussed again, and a decision can be made (or not made, if people disagree). #4 After the meeting we send an email with meeting notes and “Decisions summary” on the top of the email. #5 Since stuff never gets done immediately, there always be some time to react on #4
If someone has objections/concerns, it would be great if you can propose improvements or alternative solutions. Please don’t just say “this is all wrong!”
Many thanks for sharing your thoughts!
