14 Part of me thinks this is a good idea for the simple reason that some
15 people seem to have issues with QA/DevRel. Perhaps if the lead were
16 "appointed by council" there would be less raging every time the team
17 tried to do anything. But then again, we can't all play nice over a
18 freaking ChangeLog, even with Council making the call, so I somehow
19 doubt this will fix *anything at all*
20
21 I do not want to see "elections" for 3 team leads. As far as I'm
22 concerned, it's way too much of a hassle. Having said that, council
23 appointments for the team lead may not be a bad idea. Maybe it will
24 work. I doubt it, but I'm open to try it. My fear there is I don't want
25 to see team leads changing every year just because there is a new
26 council. If the team is working well together, there is no sense in
27 fubaring that merely because we "can".
28
29 Perhaps do council appointments if the lead steps down / if the team
30 calls for a re-appointment (there would need to be rules for this part.
31 I don't want to see a new "appointee" merely because the lead upset one
32 person. Perhaps if more than 50% of the team or like 10 other developers
33 are asking for a new lead or some such foo.)
34
35 Also, while I like the idea of "cleaning" out those teams once in a
36 while for inactive members, I'm not a huge fan of a new lead coming in
37 and removing people from the team just because.
38
39 Lastly, given that it will be the lead for a given team, I think that
40 team should have the ability to pick their "candidates" to go to
41 council, and maybe just give Council the vote on who gets it. Or, have
42 council appoint people they think are fit, and the team can vote from
43 there. Either way I think would work alright.
44
45 Just my 2 cents.
