So this isn't really related to the VIM project but I think you should but on your Green Thumb hat and look at some of the championed project pages on the ALU wiki and see if we can get a few into shape to be "blessed". The point of blessing projects is not to create some vast bureaucratic hurdle to getting work done, but to make sure that people who want to help out can do so without a huge hassle. What I (with *my* Green Thumb hat on) will be looking for before I'm ready to give a project my +1 is a project page that: a) Explains clearly and concisely what the purpose of the project is and why it's a good idea. b) Explains specifically what the project is going to try to achieve and the rest of us will know the project is achieving its goals. b) Explains clearly and concisely how someone can get up to speed and help out the project. My goal is that a new gardener should be able to look at any project page for a CL-Gardeners blessed project and easily decide whether it's something they want to work on and then start contributing right away. While Brad is doing that, anyone who has signed up to be a project champion should do what they can to get their project page(s) into shape to be blessed. And anyone else who wants to should feel free to take one of the unchampioned projects and champion it. -Peter -- Peter Seibel * [EMAIL PROTECTED] Gigamonkeys Consulting * http://www.gigamonkeys.com/ Practical Common Lisp * http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/ _______________________________________________ Gardeners mailing list [email protected] http://www.lispniks.com/mailman/listinfo/gardeners
