Hi,
Now that the PySide project is soon going to be migrated to Qt Add-on, I
would like to ask for volunteers for different project roles, according
to the Qt governance model [1]. What the project now needs is
maintainers who are responsible for the different components, as well as
some further administrative roles. Also, in addition to the maintainers,
approvers could be nominated as well.
I don't know what INdT's plans are for PySide but since the work would
seem to have stopped, I think it's best if all maintainer roles are open
for discussion. Naturally, I would be thrilled to see any of the
original core dev team members to continue to work, but it's of course
up to them and INdT's plans. :-)
The possible roles I have been having in mind are:
- Maintainer for apiextractor
- Maintainer for generatorrunner
- Maintainer for shiboken
- Maintainer for pyside
- Possibly maintainers for selected modules (QtCore, QtGui, etc)
- Maintainer for Qt Mobility bindings
- Webmaster (responsible for the website)
- Wikimaster (responsible for wiki)
- Bugmaster (bug triage, assignments, etc)
Of course, these are just from the top of my head, so if the split
should be made somehow differently, that's perfectly fine by me.
If you think you'd be willing to take up any (or even multiple) of these
roles, please step forward! :-)
Also, the Python-facing API design in the project has been done using
the PSEP process. However, now that the project is moved to Qt, I
propose that the Qt Project's decision-making process, also explained in
[1], is followed. Basically that means that decisions are made after a
proposal and discussion either by consensus, or by a maintainer
decision. This reduces the formality of the process quite a bit, but the
hindsight is that no structured design documents are produced, as in PSEP.
