Dear Rutger and guixers.
Sadly, I am not coder at all and more than just new in Guix.
I hope you feel welcome anyway.
Yes, thanks a lot. :)
However, I do have some experience designing systems<>human
interaction and so I can help a tad with this. ;)
Undoubtedly help is always welcome.
And I can certainly help with the design of the website and the
support
options, be those options directly to the project and/or
contracting
work from those who maintain and use the project.
What I am not seeing here is how the website governance and
operations
are defined. Who are the people that decides? How do they do
it? Who
are the ones that implement those decisions?
See
https://codeberg.org/guix/guix-consensus-documents/src/branch/main/001-gcd-process.md
Ah, great, thanks a lot. /\
Reading it -and a tad more- I understand that the Guix Consensus
Document (GCD) process is used when significant enough changes
affect
the project. When not, the rules are in the contributing section
of the
manual
(https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Contributing.html).
The criteria for defining between both is:
--8<--------------- cite ---------------start------------->8---
A change may be deemed significant when it could only be
reverted at a
high cost or, for technical changes, when it has the potential
to
disrupt user scripts and programs or user workflows. Examples
include:
+ changes that modify user-facing interfaces that may be relied
on
(command-line interfaces, core Scheme interfaces);
+ big restructuring of packages;
+ hard to revert changes;
+ significant project infrastructure or workflow changes;
+ governance or changes to the way we collaborate.
--8<--------------- cite ---------------end--------------->8---
I'm very new here, so in order to be helpful and learn the
rules/
customs, may I ask if changes to the website impacting money are
significant enough or not? (I have an idea but prefer not to
impact
other people's ideas).
Other than that, I will gladly read the documentation available
and
schedule some co-design (and research, if needed) sessions with
whomever
are moving the website project ahead. :)
Best...
PD: the definition of consensus used in these documents sounds
more to
what I know as consent (absence of objections, understood as
danger to
the people and/or project mission), but that could to be
discussed in
other places/times. I hereby declare openly that I do have a
sociocratic
background, just to be clear. ;D
