Hi all: This all sounds good to me. I would argue that inclusion criteria be very well documented as to avoid a repeat of the UbuntuContributingDeveloper's last meeting in IRC where there was a huge discussion about the rules. It was quite embarrassing ( especially for the candidates - me being one of them ) hence me asking that we clearly document the necessary steps for consideration/inclusion into the group.
