Subject: [gentoo-dev] GLEP XX: Fix the GLEP process
Date: Tue, 13 Dec 2005 02:09:05
Message-Id: 200512131106.54567.jstubbs@gentoo.org
1 Abstract
2
3 The purpose of GLEPs is to coordinate several teams into providing an overall
4 enhancement to Gentoo. However, the GLEP itself is written by a single person
5 rather than a cooperative effort between the teams.

8 Motivation
9
10 Recent GLEPs have attempted to force things on other teams. This just doesn't
11 work.

14 Specification
15
16 Rather than coming to the ML with a completed GLEP and then asking for
17 feedback, a GLEP author should look at the teams involved and then select a
18 solicit a member from each team to be responsible for that area of the GLEP.
19 The GLEP author may represent any teams they belong to.

22 Rationale
23
24 Rather than doing lots of hard work and having it thrown away once it is found
25 to be unacceptable by the teams involved, the teams involved share the hard
26 work and come up with something acceptable to everybody right from the
27 outset.
