I'll ask the questions I ask every time LOPSA starts a heated debate: 1. Which of the top n priorities that came out of the annual in-person board meeting last year does this relate to? 2. What problem is this going to solve? How do we measure success?
Every project that LOPSA expends energy on should have a clear answer to these two questions. This is true not just because it assures that we are working on the top priorities, but because it helps the leaders of such projects crystalize in their mind what they are working on, and helps them communicate their goals to the rest of the community. The weakest answer that we hear some times is "it fits within the charter". Everything fits within the mission/charter... that's why we elect people who set priorities and then we work on those priorities as a community. Tom
