At the OGB meeting today we discussed the planned user roles and privileges[1]. There were several concerns raised.
Others with follow-up with there concerns, but I would like to request the reasoning behind the decision to use the "Developer" and "Affiliate" term instead of the "Contributor" term in the Project and User Group collectives. Unless there is good reason for adding these new terms, I think the term "Contributor" should be used consistently across all collectives to reduce confusion and eliminating the possibility of community members interpreting that the role terminology implies different status or capabilities. The current model especially impacts community members that contribute to multiple collect types.
