Yes, we're already doing that it's just very confusing to a lot of
people :)
Well -- you and I (and a lot of others) understand it that way. But I
am not sure if this is universally shared ? I often find people, say
at a non apache conference, who just do not see/experience it that way.
I like your term "communiy advice" - the PPMC gauges interest by
holding a vote where only
I'd go a step further - and would expect the PPMC to either follow or
'reject with explanation' -- rather than do something totally
different. Or if they do - announce such clearly with another chance
for the community to visibly rally.
Problem is - in the end of the day - the boards hold that same PMC
accountable - no matter wath their community did.
the votes of the PPMC members are *counting* ("binding") and then
forwards this as a community advice to the IPMC which holds another
vote to sign it off (where only the votes of the IPMC members are
counting/binding).
Later, as soon as the Podling has graduated, the second step goes
away and the former PPMC can now directly vote and sign-off by
itself...
Agreed.
