14 On reading again, you do have suggestions on how you would deal with
15 most of what you've spoken. The only one that I think could use more
16 details (other than all the references to "tone" which I think we
17 should let rest for a while) is "Opening up documentation" - do you
18 have any ideas for this process that might help with this while
19 maintaining the quality the docs team has maintained thus far?
20
21 As a follow up question, for documentation, PR, the website redesign,
22 and templates, do you feel that these are tasks that need to be
23 addressed by council members? Is there anything preventing you from
24 taking the ball and running with it if you don't get elected into the
25 council?
26
27 And another one for "More direct democracy":
28
29 a) How would you decide what questions go up for public vote and which
30 ones stay with the council?
31
32 b) For questions like "- Should Python 3.x be stable?", isn't that for
33 team leads to decide? And for the council to resolve in case of
34 conflicts?
35
36 c) For questions like "- Should developer X be banned?", would you be
37 willing to do this if it meant a lot of washing of dirty linen in
38 public, or protracted flamewars (and other reasons why we have a bunch
39 of level-headed people in place to deal with this calmly and quietly)?
40 If no, where would you draw the line? If yes, how would you deal with
41 the fallout?

43 Regards,
