Ace has asked for some guidance regarding stuff that came up during his wiki cleanup project and in particular his moving of meeting logs and his use of the WikiSite namespace. I would like to call on the Edubuntu Council to consider his request and come to some conclusion so his work is not being blocked.
I'm also feeling like we need a new era of transparency and leadership in Edubuntu by the Edubuntu Council so I'd like to try out a new method for making decisions and getting moving. If there is some issue, technical decision, etc. that is blocking work or has stalled in discussion, I would like people to email a Request for Consideration (RFC) to this list. The EC will then discuss and vote if necessary on the issue in a timely manner ( couple days but hopefully < 1 week) and the issue can be considered settled. This doesn't negate the IRC Edubuntu Meetings but is intended to break gridlock and to make sure important issues are dealt with in a timely (not waiting for the next time all the EC is together) and transparent (the whole list sees what's going on rather than the handful of people that are on IRC at a given time). So given all that, I would like to put out the following for consideration: 1) Address the use of the WikiSite namespace as outlined in Ace's email here: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/edubuntu-users/2009-September/005604.html 2) Address what to do with the the moved meeting logs *if* the current situation is not desirable. 3) Address any issues with https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Edubuntu/WikiSite/NewStructure that the Edubuntu Council might have. The goal here is to end with a better understanding of what we want the Edubuntu wiki to look like and better guidance for Ace has he takes on this large and very much needed task. I don't want him to feel like his work is being ignored or discarded or that he's wasting his time. My feeling is that the Edubuntu Council hasn't had the chance to have a comprehensive look at the proposal. So let's take the time now, make sure everybody is on the same page, and then get Karmic rockin! -Jordan -- edubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-devel
