Well, I'd like to point out that this GLEP does not propose any changes to |
| 19 |
how herds and teams should be organized. |
| 20 |
For that I've written this: |
| 21 |
http://dev.gentoo.org/~dev-zero/glep/glep-team.html |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
In the current metastructure you (the gnomies) don't form one team which |
| 24 |
maintains the packages in the 3 herds gnome{,-mm,-office} but it's rather 3 |
| 25 |
teams (implicitly defined by the corresponding herds). |
| 26 |
I know this sounds really nitpicking. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Now, to get the things done we have two possibilities: |
| 29 |
i) do the changes to metadata.xml, herds.xml and create teams.xml (if the |
| 30 |
council approves the GLEP once completed) and then adjust our metastructure |
| 31 |
to what the XML schemas (DTD or XSD) describe |
| 32 |
or |
| 33 |
ii) change our metastructure to allow teams to be explicitly defined and |
| 34 |
describe the relationship between devs, teams, herds and projects properly |
| 35 |
and then change the XML schemas to match the organizational structure. |
