I sent this to gentoo-core yesterday, but gentoo-core seems to be missing |
| 5 |
in action. I am not sure who, if anyone, received it. gentoo-devrel is |
| 6 |
the intended audience, anyway. |

If you are seeing your second or third copy of this message, I apologise, |
| 9 |
but I can't tell what mail sent to @genroo.org addresses yesterday made |
| 10 |
it, which are still queued, and which are lost. |
| 11 |
=============================================== |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
I have now read http://dev.gentoo.org/~urilith/devrel-proposal.txt |
| 14 |
and still like it a lot. At this point, I'd like to suggest a few textual |
| 15 |
changes which have no effect on the proposal besides wording changes: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
1. As I mentioned previously, I think the procedure we are discussing |
| 18 |
is better described as a hearing rather than a trial (but the verb |
| 19 |
'tried' is fine with me). |
| 20 |
2. In the spirit of point 1, I'd change 'Defendant' to 'Respondent' |
| 21 |
since the developer involved is responding to a complaint more |
| 22 |
than defending an action. (And, it's a "kinder, gentler" word.) |
| 23 |
3. For uniformity, I'd try to keep the final policy in present tense |
| 24 |
imperative (rather than subjunctive, unless subjunctive is |
| 25 |
intended for expressing a preference rather than a requirement). |
| 26 |
4. The last word of the proposal is actually spelled 'moot'. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Sorry to seem excessively pedantic (well, picky), but if people agree with |
| 29 |
me on any of these, we are talking editing changes which have no |
| 30 |
substantive effect (oe at least, I don't intend any), and are more easily |
| 31 |
done now than later. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
I'm picking at this because I like it. If I didn't like it, I wouldn't |
| 34 |
care how it read. |
| 35 |

Regards, |
| 37 |
