And if there's a disagreement (that's not a bike shed and thus has a |
| 14 |
valid reasoning); things need to be discussed, documented and acted. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
In that order. [1] |

What we're seeing here is the lack of documentation; so, people act |
| 19 |
without having something _simple_ to refer to which causes some extra |
| 20 |
effort to explain or discuss the matter again whereas otherwise a |
| 21 |
simple link to a piece of documentation or policy would suffice. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Not everything has to be documented; but really, it's like the third or |
| 24 |
more time already that we've been talking about this. It would be nice |
| 25 |
to see this being written up and placed in a place we can refer to. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
I'm not sure what the right place would be though; the bug wrangling |
| 28 |
project, developer handbook (policy section) or perhaps something else? |
