Hello Take,
Rather, I suggest to form approved “working group” which defines the
> objective and timeline under this community.

For what concerns WSJT-X I think that a working group already exists and
there's no need for a new working group working on top of the existing one.
You are already free to modify the WSJT-X source code, recompile, add
functionality or a new, smarter mode, and make a new code branch if you
wishes it so.
What such a suggested working group should do, therefore? To decide with
authority what to place in the main software trunk and what not?
I would not call this a working group, I would rather call it a political
group.
Don't you like FT-8? Would you like to live somewhere in the future? Take
the WSJT-X code and modifiy it, or write a new one from scratch and make it
available world-wide.
As long the result fullfills some world wide accepted regulatory
requirement nobody would complain.
Of course I'm expressing only my own opinion which might not be the same of
Joe or other contributors.
Personally I would never work under a group which defines objectives I have
to achieve.
I'm not an employee of a working group that defines something.
If I think that I've found something interesting to do for a community I
define the objectives of my studies by myself (often after deep discussions
with trusted friends) and then, if the study looks good to others, I've
nothing in contrary if my work can be part of a larger one.
Exactely as I already did in the past - for the very small, almost
insignificant part of the code that involved me - gladly, proudly and
without any interference from any so called working group.
And exactely what I will continue to do.
