Well, that's one good problem down. It seems to me like we need a better way to do this, but any answer at all is better than none. (I knew that I'd seen it before, but it doesn't seem to be linked from anywhere I could find. Oh, my kingdom for a web admin!) (Also, I can't be the only one confused by the profusion of terms, can I? Does everyone else have "contributor," "observer," "affiliate," "leader," and "member" on crib sheets?) > Since only people can send email, I'm not sure how one can cause "the > community" to generate a message. My understanding of that part of the process is that it's strictly up to the communities to decide who among them gets this authority. However, it remains unclear to me whether communities themselves really understand that they have this capability (and responsibility to name someone to this role), or that the OGB "acting as project herald" can actually determine which inbound requests are valid and which are not. There seems to be a lack of solid data here. > That is, send an email proposing a new project to the sponsoring > community group(s), asking that the contributers respond via the > above "voting method", and when you get the required consensus in > the Community, simply send email to the OGB alias designated for > handling approved project creation requests stating the following: Who sends that "simple" email? The current process appears to claim that the community (or some representative of it) must do this, and not the project submitter. I'm apparently a core contributor for networking. Can I thus just give myself a +1 and send a project proposal straight to Eric for publishing -- skipping the whole process? I'd suppose not, but since it seems like we have only the top level of control in place, it's unclear where we are. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
