Ken, I think you've described the problem exactly: the Puppet language needs curation. That doesn't mean a single person to make all the decisions, but it does mean one person to find the worst pain points, the best ideas, the most pressing needs, and drive us as a company and community towards the future. When I started a year ago I was hoping to do this myself. I've not devoted the time that it deserves. A month ago I got out of denial and asked Pieter van de Bruggen to curate the DSL. He's held two design reviews internally and is currently gathering information from any source he can get to sit still for a few minutes. Very soon I expect him to start talking about it more in public. We've not done this sort of thing before so it's going to be a little messy to begin with, but I believe it's the right path. r -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
